Best high street banking app

The barclays app is the most user friendly out there and the features available are those which cannot be matched at the moment. Further their savings rates remain competitive Reviewed on: 4th June 2024

5
I've been using Barclays for 10+ years now and it has been great, would definitely recommend. Reviewed on: 21st December 2017

Best Banking App on the Market

5
I’ve used the majority of the banking apps on the market and Barclays by far, has the best layout and integration into all accounts. They’ve packed so much into the App that the only reason for a physical branch is to deposit money. Been with them for around 7-8 years and never had a problem. Always less than two minute wait so speak to a member of the personal banking team. Reviewed on: 19th December 2017

Excellent Barclays since forever

Good Tech Poor Customer Service

The app is great really easy to use but if you have to speak to a real person their foreign call centres really let them down. Very poor service. Reviewed on: 8th December 2017

Perks

Over the moon with my joint account with my husband. We have the Tech Pack which covers our gadgets and phones, we have used the RAC cover several times we have had the unfortunate need to, Holiday insurance is a great added bonus and we even get BLUE rewards just for shopping! Have received great service from Barclays, have several other accounts and servies with them and and would highly recommend their services to anybody. Reviewed on: 29th November 2017
