British Banking at its Worst

What can I say about Barclays Bank? They are impossible to contact from abroad. They do not provide bank references. They return my wire transfers for no reason leaving me with no money in my account to pay my mortgage. Everything is 'centralised' so discussion with the local bank manager is a thing of the past. Dreadful. Reviewed on: 12th February 2017

Been with the bank over 20yrs. Mum passed away recently they were very helpful
