Most of my family use them

I've recommended Barclays to several members of my family due to the great customer service and amazing banking app and pingit app which mean being able to keep in constant control out my accounts, a fantastic resource to me especially as I'm disabled and struggle to get to branches during opening hours etc. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

I feel like I am the ONLY customer Barclays has with the treatment I get.

Safe & secure

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
