Great Bank

Barclays have been amazing with supporting me through every step of my current account issues. They are particularly incredible at resolving customer complaints to the highest of satisfaction. Great bank with amazing customer service. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2026

Account closed with no warning. Funds frozen.

Account closed with no warning. They related on a message sent to an online message board. No call. No letter to address. Cards cut off. Locked out of app. Limted help with payments over phone due to limits. Awful service. Funds frozen pending restoration. Appalling practice. Don’t bank with them. Reviewed on: 1st April 2026

Awful branch service

The account is fine but the customer service is awful. If you ring up they don't help you, if you go to the branch you'll waste hours. What the hell have they done to their branches you have to explain to at least 4 people and wait in this very exposed waiting area until you get seen then they faff around for ages reassuring you that they'll solve your problem and then they don't do anything. Why can't you just wait in a queue and talk to one person on a counter and get it sorted? No other bank has done that and Barclays reckons it's improved their service Reviewed on: 26th March 2026
