Great App

I love the Barclay's app and how easy it is to move money around! Reviewed on: 30th May 2018

SIDE TO SIDE

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER CARE. PERFECT AND SAFE MONEY MANAGING SERVICE Reviewed on: 22nd May 2018

Great... until something goes wrong

Generally no problems, but someone did use my account to make 3 pricey deliveroo orders. I had barely had the card a few months, and am exceptionally careful with my details. However the letter I received from Barclays over my experience was frankly insulting. Despite responding 'N' within seconds to their 'Did you make these payments Y/N' text, and receiving a confirmation reply, they insisted by letter that my text reply and subsequent phone calls had not happened, and on this occasion they had decided to give me back the money taken, but made it very clear that they believed the transactions were genuine only because I apparently hadn't responded.

Good bank account

Good and fast service. I had a few issues through the years but Barclays is fast sorting the problems out. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2018

The Greatest..... Amazing....

The best bank...very loyal and help for customers.... Reviewed on: 25th April 2018

Everything has been sorted the easiest way

There was a problem with Barclays as I contacted customer support by phone regarding change my personal account details. Operators were not able to access my account without telephone password. I made a complaint by email and very soon, maybe in 30 min someone from Barclays contacted me by phone to help me sort out this problem. Everything has been done extremely easy way with apologising and compensation from Barclays. I am a Barclays' customer since 2009 I think and I am absolutely satisfied with its service. Thank you Reviewed on: 22nd April 2018

Very good

Helpful and very quick to resolve any banking issues Reviewed on: 18th April 2018

Mobile app absolute rubbish

Constant problems with the mobile app not connecting. It says sorry try again later every time. Today asked me to download an updated version from Google Play which I did - wiped out all my details - had to start all over again, losing all payees I pay money to. Re-entered everything which took ages, same message try again later. Rubbish app. Go to another bank. Reviewed on: 9th April 2018

Easy to find a branch, good app

Plenty of branches, app is very clear and functional. Good service at branches. Secure. Reviewed on: 9th April 2018
