Helpful and flexible

I have been with Barclays Bank since I was a student 24 years ago . I have stuck with them as they have been flexible with my changing circumstances and I've always found them friendly and helpful . Reviewed on: 21st December 2014

Good experience overall and excellent online bank.

Good bank feel safe with pin sentry, overall a good bank but remember no banks perfect. Reviewed on: 21st December 2014

Barclays Business Banking

I have banked with Barclays as Business Customer for 3 years. When I can do something online myself I have no issues. As with all Barclays accounts I find their online service to be vastly superior to their competition. I also have business accounts through HSBC and Nat West and their online systems and apps don't get near Barclays - Premier league versus League One! But when it comes to on the phone service, the local business managers at Barclays are lazy at best. I have only had cause to inconvenience him twice in two years - and for that I apologise - I had the gaul to send him one email - asking if he might be able to help a company I had invested in switch their business banking to barclays - he never replied and last night I emailed asking if he could help me access a long-term savings account for the business. I wanted a 90 day access account and couldn't find one online - I emailed asking for help - this was the reply; Hi Paul we don't have a 90 day notice savings account for business, all are accounts are instant access top rate at the moment is 0.5% regards, Well - done Barclays - strong customer focused effort there!!!

Only pros for me

I like this account because it works well and offers a few perks that you wouldn't expect as standard for a free account. Minor login issues for internet banking sometimes, but on the whole really impressed Reviewed on: 24th October 2014

Personalised debit card and SmartSpend makes this account stand out for me

I've had an account with Barclays for a while and find them to be friendly and efficient. I like that I could personalise my card with a picture of my kids (I find it makes me use it more as well!) I also like how the online benefits are getting better - the way to go. Pretty impressive for a free account Reviewed on: 22nd October 2014

No thrills account, but no issues

I don't use my current account that much, but when I do it works quite well. Overall content with this service Reviewed on: 12th October 2014
