Great super

Great amazing good app work super Reviewed on: 21st November 2018

Local branch

I find I can go into my local branch for advice or to pay in money and if I just want to check anything I can go on the app. Reviewed on: 18th November 2018

All good

Never had any issues, in branch or online. Reviewed on: 17th November 2018

Nonsense-free banking for years.

I have been successfully banking with Barclays for years. Quick, easy banking, just as it should be. Reviewed on: 16th November 2018

I can see my non-Barclays account in the app too!

I do the majority of my banking through apps, so I think it's great that Barclays has allowed me to add my Santander account to their app. it's made life so much easier now that I can see both accounts and balances in one place! The Barclays app never fails to impress me with new creative features that many other banks don't provide Reviewed on: 15th November 2018

I found them to be very reasonable and helpful

They text me if my account is about to go overdrawn,and even honour payments up to £50 or thereabouts as long as I get the money into my account within a few days.This really helped me once when I was ill (I have M.E.),and got mixed up over my account,going overdrawn.The chap in the bank was very understanding and helpful as he explained that I would not have to pay any charges.

Best bank about

Never any problems with great customer service and efficient online banking Reviewed on: 15th November 2018

Barclays bank

The online banking is great and shows account information in a clear and logical way but the saving rate on the saving account is poor especially considering the base rate has increased twice and it's still on the level it was on 3 years ago Reviewed on: 15th November 2018

Easy access to info on the app

Really pleased with the banking app so intuitive Reviewed on: 14th November 2018

Excellent customer service

Always great customer service particularly in crisis times such as lost bank card. Always sort things quickly and phone you back if they say they are going to. Also fraud department very good and contact me before I’m even aware of any risk. Reviewed on: 14th November 2018
