Very easy to ude

5
Since the first day I started using the Barclays mobile banking app it has been so easy to manage my money from transferring to receiving cash back. All throughout the app it is so simple and easy to use. They also have a very easily accessible feature that allows you to talk to a Barclays employee if you need any assistance with anything.

Banking made easy.

I have been a Barclays customer for 32 years and never had a single issue with the bank. Applying for loans is simple using the online banking app, which has been great over the years, taking away the hassle of filling out forms and having to wait for them to be processed. I have entered into my overdraft a few times over the years and unlike other banks, the charges are not over the top and are well advertised so you know exactly what you will be paying. The Blue Rewards App is fantastic as well, as despite paying a monthly fee, Barclays pay me more back every month, just for having a set number of direct debits coming out of my account, as well as taking out my loan with them. Barclays are very quick reacting to card fraud as well and have been one step ahead of the game more than once when my card has been cloned. As things currently stand, I would never consider changing banks. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
