Bank? What bank??

They've closed almost every branch and have removed the cash bonus on the blue rewards . When you try and do any in person banking you have to find a "pop-up" and 9 times out of 10 you just get told to go and do it online Reviewed on: 31st August 2024

Banking needs reform,

Banking needs reform, many banks are going online and ditching bricks and mortar access. I say let the over paid managers be replaced with software too. Reviewed on: 25th August 2024

Decent enough bank

I've been with them a long time and have found my account easy to use & access whenever I need to. There are no benefits along with my account though as well as no overdraft which makes it difficult to beat other account providers Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Been a customer for 17 years and they have recently closed my local branch without informing me. I had a problem with the online banking app so phoned customer services. The person only liked the sound of own voice and didn’t really listen to what I had to say. I in particular don’t like that I couldn’t go to my branch to sort out this issue! It’s utterly disgusting!! Reviewed on: 14th August 2024

Out in the cold....

Barclays are about to scrap their Blue Rewards scheme and replace it by a deal with Apple that needs an App and I don't have a smart phone. So I so-called improvement completely bypasses me as a customer since 1969 Reviewed on: 1st August 2024

I had a deeply disappointing and frustrating experience with Barclays Bank that has left me without access to my money and savings. Without any prior notification, Barclays abruptly closed my bank account, freezing all my funds. This was shocking and alarming, as it left me unable to access my money, which includes both my daily funds and significant savings. The lack of communication from Barclays throughout this ordeal has been appalling. I was not informed in advance of the account closure, and the customer service has been unhelpful and evasive. I made numerous calls to their customer service, only to be met with vague responses and a lack of clarity about the status of my funds. They instructed me to send a letter to their headquarters, which I promptly did, but I received no response. This bureaucratic runaround has been incredibly stressful, and it seems like they are making it as difficult as possible for me to get my money back. It feels like Barclays has effectively stolen my money, as they have not provided any legitimate reason for holding my funds, nor have they offered any solutions or timelines for resolution. The bank's failure to communicate, lack of transparency, and poor customer service are utterly unacceptable. I would strongly caution anyone against banking with Barclays, as my experience has shown that they cannot be trusted to handle your money responsibly or provide adequate customer support.
