My account was moved to Barclays when the Woolwich closed down. I was sceptical at first, but now I have been with Barclays for over 20 years and would NEVER change my bank! I have never experienced anything remotely wrong with using Barclays. Everything is right there at your fingertips. I use the app practically every day because I like it so much! Keep going guys, you're doing great! 12/10!! :) Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
