BARCLAYS is the worst bank in the UK.

An absolutely horrendous experience to have as a new customer trying to open a new account. Every single thing that you can think of is wrong with Barclays from quality of service, of products, timelines. My story: I downloaded the app to sign up for a new account. It said my address is not correct, I turned on my GPS while at the address, it said I was not at the address, they sent a PIN by mail after 3 days, entered, it then said it couldnt complete the process and forced me to go to the branch. I then called multiple times to book appointments, got one a week later, they called back 2 days prior to say they are cancelling my appointment. I then call to lodge a complaint, they do not help me at all, hang up on me, judge me for wanting to open too many bank accounts. I now am completely stuck without any way to open an account. BARCLAYS is the worst bank in the UK. Reviewed on: 29th July 2022

Thieves

Over the last 12 months my partner has had countless issues with them losing money, freezing accounts, letting someone change his address over the phone by not taking them through security, refusing to refund a £30 fraudulent transaction which was made by someone on iTunes. Well this morning took the biscuit when he logged on to check the £11000 refund we were waiting to clear from HMRC had been credited, to find they had taken our money and frozen his account. They state it had been flagged up as fraud. It is a genuine tax refund from HMRC?? Now being told they have unfrozen the account but they don’t know what’s happened to our 11 grand and can we give them 24 hours to try and find out. We have 5 children including a 7 month old baby, my partner has been out of work since December as he has cancer and we have less than £30 in the bank. Reviewed on: 28th July 2022
