Great friendly service however required

I feel that Barclays bank offers second to none service whether in the branch or through their app. It is so easy to use their facilities and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Reviewed on: 16th September 2020

Barclays Current Account Access

4
The Barclays online banking platform and app alongside daily usage is great. I’ve had no problems and it’s all pretty seamless and quick. The lack of customer service on the app though is quite difficult as you need to call up, which might cause accessibility issues too and frustration for urgent support.

Never had a serious issue with Barclays since joining them in 1982. Their internet banking App is very good. It is a pity they closed down nearly all their branches near to me as paying the occasional check was a problem on the App. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026
