Superb customer service

Customer service and customer care are by miles above anyone else I've ever banked with Reviewed on: 13th November 2018

Protection is the key

4
I have banked with barclays for years now. I have had accounts with 2 other leading banks however Barclays has by far stood out from the rest. They have made me feel a person and not a statistic, I feel like every time I need to be in touch that they listen and treat me genuinely and without any judgement. I know my money is safe and secure. What more can you ask for when besides my children the thing I treasure, my money, without it we could not live and i don't have alot but I know it is safe secure and I am treat like i matter. Which is a rare feeling. As for onlinr banking it is quick simple and clear. Helps when other things in life are so busy. Thank you Barclays. Reviewed on: 13th November 2018

So simple

I don’t know what it is about barclays. From the apps to the way they treat their customers, they are generally a great bank. I was with Lloyd’s before and I just didn’t gel at all. Reviewed on: 11th November 2018
