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

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
