I love barclays

Barclays has been nothing but good too me not one bit of trouble have I had from them so much easier too use too via there banking app I love it Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Great Bank, but could do with keeping with the times

4
Barclays works well as an everyday banking platform, the app works well and the call center is efficient on the rare occasion i have had to call them. The frustrating part about Barclays is that contactless payments seem to be exploding and Barclays is way behind the times. Samsung Pay, Garmin pay are two simple examples of how making daily transacting simpler and more convenient. but Barclays dont support them. I feel there is a great opportunity for Barclays to lead the way in trends and at the very least, keep with the competiton. but other than that, a Great banking experience Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Simple, easy to use banking

5
I find it so easy to use Barclays on line banking. It's quick & simple to apply to transactions any time of day. Viewing statements is so clear. Debit & credits are easily distinguished. Current balance is displayed showing transactions that haven't yet been processed giving an accurate balance. This is very important to me on a very tight budget ensuring i don't overspend. I love my Barclay Bank accounts! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
