Review of the Barclays, Current Account:

Current account

Easy to use mobile app which I love as it helps me keep an eye on my account. Love the personalised card option. Reward scheme option for insurance or mortgage etc where you get a cash sum for having such. Great customer service if they suspect a discrepancy / unusual movement on your spending they ring or msg to confirm its legit . Cant fault it ! Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Online banking when it works.

Another bank pushing hard for online use and the platform doesn’t work properly very fortunately I didn’t need to use it at the time when it all went wrong recently so I was lucky I was concerned about it. Reviewed on: 28th February 2025

Barclays are closing too many branches.

Barclays are closing too many branches. I had to travel 15 miles to deposit a cheque and when I got to the main branch there was no desk service available. Just one employee telling everyone to use the automated machines on the ground floor. Reviewed on: 28th February 2025

Very bad customer service makes me leave Barclays

Customer for over 25 years and the one time I got scammed they let me down and wouldn't help. Very, very disappointed and I'll be closing my accounts with them at the end of March. Really poor customer service, they were very chaotic, not adding things to the complaint, loosing a signed for letter I'd sent with evidence and the last person I've dealt with was incredibly disinterested and dismissive and the one who closed the complaint. I suppose they want to get rid of old customers or something. Reviewed on: 28th February 2025
