Barclays never disappoints.

I've used Barclays for my current account banking for 6 years and not once have they given me cause to complain. The staff in my local branch are polite friendly and competent. What more could I ask ? Reviewed on: 18th December 2016

OK

Barclays is adequate and I would recommend it to friends and family Reviewed on: 18th December 2016

How To Chat To Electrons.

My local branch recently became the bridge of the Starship Enterprise; an almost entirely automated alienation. The first thing I noticed upon entry was the silence. Whereas before the polite conversation among strangers and staff intruded into my wait now there is a strange side-effect of instead meeting electronic calculus -- people queuing for it don't speak. Possibly because the machine that has replaced a person doesn't, I don't know. The consequence is a much greater impression of existence as a functionary. Twice in the past three months, my account has been a few pounds overdrawn; formerly this would have elicited a semi-bespoke letter outlining resulting charges, possibly with a suggestion that I discuss this with the bank. Now no such thing occurs. A letter arrives detailing the incurred deduction intended next month (paper correspondence still surviving at the moment) but basically electrons don't do conversation. There's nothing to be discussed because like everybody else I'm an integer. You can still find one staff member to talk to when you go into the bank if you wait, but even there a change in tone intrudes. Also, all the middle-aged staff have vanished, at least from up front. Perhaps explaining it. Reviewed on: 17th December 2016

I get the information that I want, when I want and problems are solved quickly!

Barclays customer service through their app is great! Whether I am accessing account info or connecting to a customer services rep on the phone through the app. I recently lost my debit card, Barclays printed me a replacement in store on the same day, massively helpful. Brilliant. Reviewed on: 15th December 2016
