Efficient and helpful

Banking app is especially good as it updates instantly and so you always know how much money you have Reviewed on: 23rd May 2022

Judgemental and infuriating

I have banked with barclays my entire life. I am a disabled person and rely solely on benefits. I have been to them many, many times asking for financial assistance but they have never ever helped me in any way, shape or form. Everytime I speak to someone there I feel incredibly judged and spoken to not only like a child, but like they assume that because I'm physically disabled that I'm also stupid. I would have moved bank accounts on numerous occasions if I could do it easily! Reviewed on: 18th May 2022

Very good bank and reliable trustworthy Reviewed on: 17th May 2022

No customer service for overseas clients

I encountered a technical error while trying to access my account online. As I am overseas I am unable to use the app, so I tried the customer service chat. Note it's only available on iPhones, which I do not have. I borrowed one and after about 40 minutes and 2 do-overs I was told I have to call (internationally during UK business hours only) or visit a branch (thousands of miles away...). In the meantime I can't even access my account balance. Apparently they are only focused on local customers who can pop into a branch every time they want to access their account.

Incompetent

I begrudge having to award one star. It took 12 hours on the phone over three weeks for Barclays to rectify a problem that they caused. I spoke to six different customer service staff. They all told me they had solved the problem - not true. It was finally solved by a manager. Reviewed on: 14th May 2022

GANG OF ZOMBIES.

Unbelievably obnoxious evil ungodly zombie heathens. Reviewed on: 11th May 2022
