Trouble free and Trustworthy.

I've held a bank account with Barclays for a good many years and never had one cause for complaint. The staff at my local branch are polite, efficient and always ready with a smile and a pleasant word or two. Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

Blocked my account with no reason or notice

1
Blocked my bank account still haven't gave me a reason, refusing to give me my own money from my bank what I work for. Customer service on the phone is a load of crap, rude staff and don't know what they are on about. Once this is sorted I will be moving banks elsewhere. Crap bank Reviewed on: 8th November 2016

Very happy no problems with Barclays at all

5
I have to say that despite some people having bad experiences with Barclays my own experience has been very positive. I love that you can design your own debit card and have just been accepted for a credit card and can see all the details straight away online and have a realistic credit limit. I find their online banking to be excellent, despite a few things that you can only do in branch, and overall am a very happy customer. Thanks Barclays Reviewed on: 24th October 2016
