Good Fraud protection

4
I Used my card to buy a car as it was a substantial amount they immediately contacted me to check it was me who used the card to make the payment as they were concerned it was being used fraudulently which is good fraud prevention from a bank Reviewed on: 5th February 2018

Reliable with no issues

5
I've been using Barclays for the past three years. I've had no issues so far, I absolutely love the changes they make to their mobile app and the customer service where a manager is appointed to come and meet me instead of me going to the branch whenever needed. Reviewed on: 5th February 2018
