Great bank - over 10 years with them and counting

5
Have always had a great service from Barclays either at a branch, on the app or over the phone. Would recommend quite confidently Reviewed on: 23rd March 2023

good but stale

3
this used to be a great account, they need to improve. The features all work and are all there but its old infrastructure and needs a referesh, the app is good though Reviewed on: 23rd March 2023

The best "High Street" Bank for customer service

5
Simply put, I've banked with Barclays for over 20 years and had to talk to a Real Human Being on a number of occasions, either in person at a branch, on the phone, or via the app, and have yet to have a bad experience with them at all. I can honestly say most of my friends had bad experiences with other high street banks' customer service, and thankful I'm in the minority Reviewed on: 22nd March 2023

Best app available

4
Easy to bank with and the app is the best i've seen Reviewed on: 22nd March 2023

Everything Is Easy

5
I've had my current account with Barclays for more than a decade and, since they introduced their App, I've hardly ever been in a Branch. I can do pretty much everything via the App and see/operate (nearly) all my accounts - simple needs simply done. Reviewed on: 21st March 2023

Banking made easy

5
Barclays Bank has many features on its mobile banking app which make it extremely easy to manage one’s account, make inquiries, get help, track spending and transfer money. Would highly recommend Reviewed on: 21st March 2023

It's quick, summarises my income and where the money has gone. So safe to use as well. Very protective Reviewed on: 21st March 2023
