Barclays Current account reviews (4953)

Long term bank supplier

I’ve been with Barclays for over 13 years and I have never experienced any problems with them. They are the only bank to still have a branch in my home town. Reviewed on: 5th November 2017

Good account

I’ve had a bank account with Barclays for years. They’ve recently launched blue rewards so you can get cash back for loyalty such as having their home insurance or mortgage deals. It’s also for direct debits and you can earn cash back on purchases at certain shops too. Would be 5 stars but I recently had some fraudulent activity on my account and I feel they dragged their heels about starting an investigation and provided no help regarding my financial situation whilst I waited to get my money back. An offer to temporarily extend my overdraft would have been nice. Reviewed on: 3rd November 2017

no time for people

very disapointing always a que staff unfriendly always 10 minute waiting time no matter what time of day. bank is horrible feeling needs up dated Reviewed on: 3rd November 2017

Good service overall, just minor niggles

Great customer service overall. Easy to use in branch and online. Branches are always quite busy (increased waiting times) due to popularity of the bank. The banking and pingit apps really help to provide a seamless and efficient service. The only issue we had was trying to get an up to date bank statement printed to show transactions of a gifted deposit for our mortgage.. we had to wait a couple of weeks until the new statement was made and released, they couldn't make us one up and stamp it for convenience. This pushed the exchange of contracts back by a couple of weeks. Reviewed on: 4th October 2017
