Flexible service with one - to - one banking. Perfect for flexibility and transferrring money especially when using the App. Reviewed on: 31st May 2017

Never

Totally dreadful. Unethical and dirty. Stay well away. The star rating is generous. I was not given the option of a straightforward '0'. Reviewed on: 31st May 2017

Great Bank to be with

5
Been with these for years, never had any problems, always send me reviews of my account for loans and mortgages, they have a great service in store, online and thru the app, would definitely recommend! Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

App hasnt been working for months!

2
Barclays app developers are simply lazy. The app hasn't been working on a lot of Android phones, for few months now, and Barclays isn't doing anything about it. Simply because of that I feel like changing my bank Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

Easy, great features

5
Can't be beaten! Lovely products, lovely customer care, lovely site and apps. Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

Old-fashioned

2
I've been a customer for over 10 years but now looking to switch banking provider. It's quite difficult to book and appointment to see the adviser if needed and customer service is not up to scratch. In addition, other banks provide better benefits for their clients Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

Hit and miss

Had a bad experience with fraud but got it resolved with a fight! Reviewed on: 27th May 2017

Could be more customer focussed...

3
The account does what it needs to do, but it doesn't feel tailored to customer needs. I would also appreciate going into a branch and not being pointed towards the machines to complete transactions. I know this is not the fault of the staff, as it seems the company need to invest in more ground level employees and management, rather than higher level bonuses. Other than that, customer service is typically ok. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2017
