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!

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

Excellent customer service

My partner and I opened a joint account together as we’ve just moved in together. We also purchased other services with Barclays. Everything was explained really clearly and we were helped with setting everything up including the apps and told all about the rewards available to us. It was really quick and simple and it’s great to be able to monitor everything using the app. I particularly like the calendar and the blue rewards wallet, which keeps your rewards money separate until you choose to withdraw it.
