Not very helpful

Fees are expensive

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

Great Service, i always feel they go out of their way to help me and assist, whether this is when i have saving and in credit but also in times when i have been in need of funds, the staff online and in branch are exceptional, and the Appis an Amazing Tool. Reviewed on: 30th June 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

Great Bank to work with

5
Unlike other banks I have used previously I find Barclays fully understand my financial position as an owner of multiple businesses and work with me to achieve my goals. Reviewed on: 29th June 2017
