Customer Care

5
Barclay care about their customers and this shows in the innovative programs they come up with through there digital banking app. A direct call button, so once I login I can call and speak to an adviser with the push of a button. They list all my direct debit dates on a calendar on my behalf. They give you emergency pin numbers when you aren't so bright and don't realise that you are trying to get cash out on an expired debit card! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Have been with Barclays for years, their customer service goes above and beyond, helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and treat you as a person not a number. Keep you up to date with your account and any suspicious activity. Best bank for online banking with everything easily found on the app. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
