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
