Easy, hassle free banking

I always check my Barclays account online or via the app. I use web chat for all my questions which is a straightforward, hassle free and speedy process. I can control fully my account via the app. Check past transaction, transfer money between accounts, pay other people in a very easy and safe way, set up direct debits and the list can go on and on. The most recent feature is that you can also add accounts you hold with other banks as well. What more can you ask? Barclays app is a life saver. A very happy customer!
