Have banked here for over a decade

I have banked with Barclays since I opened my first bank account at the age of 16 (20 years ago!) I wouldn't think about changing my account at all. I have never had a problem and always receive excellent customer service. I am especially pleased with the Barclays online banking option and the recent apps such as pingit and the Barclays banking app. Reviewed on: 1st January 2018

poor service

Whats the point of having an account if they have closed most banks in Norfolk and even one in Norwich? In the real world, people still need cheques to pay tradespeople who do not accept any cards, to pay at bars who do not accept cards, and with many village post offices closing too it is hard to find anywhere to pay in cheques - and most branches only have junior staff who are unable to deal with any problem or make their own deciiions. Barclays has forgotten what banks are for. Reviewed on: 1st January 2018
