On a couple of occasions I have messed up my finances, they arranged a meeting, got me on track and scrapped charges as realised wouldn't help clearing debts! Reviewed on: 10th November 2017

Adequate,

I’ve been with Barclays all my life, the accounts been adequate. I like the cash back option on online spending. The app is good. Loans are expensive. Not much perk for continuing customers, majority of rewards for new customers. Reviewed on: 10th November 2017

Awesome

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. Reviewed on: 10th November 2017
