Need for more cyber attack security

2
In previous years, I've had to change my card a few times, as they have been used by strangers. Barclays need to rethink their security because this sort of thing shouldn't be happening to we customers. Reviewed on: 28th July 2017

Not very helpful

2
I find barclays very unhelpful and did not manage to solve the matter that i had. Reviewed on: 25th July 2017

Fees are expensive

3
Overdrafts are costly, dont use them. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2017

Always helping me out

5
I know Barclays get bad reviews like most big banks but they have always helped me out when I needed an overdraft or opening another account. I like their website so I'm staying although it's tempting to leave when other banks offer £200 to go to them... I wish Barclays paid me somthing for staying... Reviewed on: 21st July 2017

They're good, I like how if I go overdrawn they send me a text to let me know so I can transfer cash. Reviewed on: 8th July 2017

Great Customer Service

5
The new video feature in the app is brilliant Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

Poor customer service

1
Poor online fraud protection, and it took me an afternoon off work to be able to be able to report. 3 months to get the money back AND 2 years later they still won't turn my online banking on. Have asked multiple times in store to be repeatedly told you can't do that here with no suggestion of what to do to fix the situation. Reviewed on: 29th June 2017
