Really shockingly bad poor customer service.

Really shockingly bad poor customer service. Advisers are unprofessional. Customer Service is useless. Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

Lost it

A decade ago Barclays was THE bank as it offered a very tailored service. This has now gone and foreign call centres are the buzz. Cheap shot Barclays Reviewed on: 11th March 2023

They are one of the best banks to be with. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Terrible customer service, outdated

1
Really outdated services, requiring me and/or my partner to attend the actual branch frequently resolve issues that have happened due to a fault on their end. Their app is not user friendly and had issues frequently. They constantly keep locking me out of my account due to 'possible fraudulent activity on relatively minor transactions. Their premier account has near to no benefits and I will be closing my account with them soon for this reason. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023
