Safe & secure

5
Apart from being able to monitor the online banking anytime day or night ,I particularly like , the pending section which allows you to see what’s waiting to come out of your bank account , this enables you to monitor eg, if you’ve lost your card & haven’t realised & purchases are being made by someone else ,also I like the fact that you can temporarily freeze your card if you realise it’s been lost so it can’t be used . Lots of other things in the app I like but I rate these two at the top. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Simply the best

The Barclays mobile banking app has been the star of the show for me. It has continuously evolved over time and improved with each and every update. There is so much you can do with it from banking cheques using your phone's camera and administering your direct debits and standing orders. It simply does pretty much everything I need for my banking requirement and then some more. Very impressed, a big well done to Barclays and a thank you for making our lives easier!
