Excellent Customer Service

Ive have been a customer of barclays bank for 18 years and cant fault their excellent customer service. There is no other bank i wouls trust to handle my money! Reviewed on: 2nd June 2016

amoiunt in bank is never up to date

as i said the amount you have in your bank takes ages to update and outgoings don't show up for days online banking with them is awful and you need a card reader to transfer anything which is a huge pain Reviewed on: 1st June 2016

Great bank.

Always helpful staff. Great to deal with. Reviewed on: 19th May 2016

Great Facilities

The new Barclays Bank at Newcastle upon Tyne is great. Gone are the long queues at the counter replaced by manned cash points that you can withdraw or make payments into. Much faster and easy to use once you have had one or two demonstrations from staff. Thanks Barclays. Reviewed on: 19th May 2016

Stupendous customer service

The Customer service is second to none, I get through to someone I can actually understand who can answer my queries in a timely manner Reviewed on: 8th May 2016

Great Customer Service

They have fully embraced technology and their internet banking and app are second to none. Also they have Very helpful staff. Reviewed on: 26th April 2016

Call Centres

An above average bank until you need to contact them by phone. Appalling call centre service staffed by people who have only a limited grasp of English, and have no experience of a UK bank Reviewed on: 21st April 2016

Spot on!

Several years ago when myself and my now wife decided to move in together, we wanted to get a joint bank account together. As my wife had banked with Barclays from the age of 11, she suggested we turn her current account into a joint one if possible. We popped into the bank, and they made it happen in just a few minutes (with the right documents of course) and we even got to have a photo with the premier league trophy! Absolutely awesome, would recommend to all! Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Always look out for my account safety

I have had my Barclays current account for over 20 years and can say I am very happy with them. There have been a couple of occasions when my card has been blocked. when I have called up to see why this is the case , it has been when I have made quite a few small orders and then a larger order. this can be a tell tell sign of scammers. I would rather they take these actions then be left with money missing from my account. Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Good Overdraft but hefty charged

I have changed jobs but I am too scared to tell Barclays as they will take my overdraft away. They have also introduced daily charges for being in your overdraft which soon add up Reviewed on: 28th March 2016
