Overall good!

I have banked with Barclays for a long time. Overall I find the services available pretty good. Online banking and the app is easy to use and convenient. I don't like the changes in the branch a huge amount, for example - if you want to actually speak to someone there is a long wait/need an appointment. That said it's fairly infrequent for me Reviewed on: 29th January 2018

Online experience very easy and secure. The online branches are understaffed at times. Reviewed on: 20th January 2018

Over use of Call Centre Staff in India

1
Big improvement in mobile and Internet app, which are very good. My main irritation is over use of support staff based in India, often with poor language skills and lack of training. Charges can be high too. Not a bank that I have confidence in and I always feel that the customer is very much at the bottom of the list. Reviewed on: 19th January 2018
