Awesome app and functionality.......... Reviewed on: 10th November 2017

The impression given by this company is that it makes its money elsewhere

The local branch was recently transformed into the bridge of the Starship Enterprise; I don't know if there was any customer consultation about this, but I doubt it. the effect is that conversations with account holders formerly taking place in private are in a public arena -- quite possibly en route to social media.

Problem Free Banking

I have had my bank account with Barclays since I was around 13 and I can honestly say I have never had a problem. If I have ever had a query it has been dealt with quickly and without fuss. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I can't fault them and wouldn't think of banking with anybody else. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Best bank ever!

Hubby & I have been banking with Barclays for 12 years now. We have our current & savings account, life insurance, house insurance and travel insurance thru them. The service we receive is always second to none! Keep up the good work Barclays! Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Great security

Barclays security is amazing, someone tried to use my details to spend £200 once and they spotted it straight away and declined it and phoned me. Sent me a new card straight away! Reviewed on: 8th November 2017
