The best

Helpful and convenient and a company you can trust Reviewed on: 16th August 2022

Disgusting treatment from Barclays

I've banked with Barclays for nearly sixty years. In spite of significant funds on deposit, a mortgage-free house, and no debts they've decided to withdraw my overdraft facility. The reason? I might buy a house with the funds on deposit. I am utterly disgusted. Needless to say the funds I had with Barclays are now elsewhere and the process of switching my current account has begun. Trust, and lack of it, is mutual. Reviewed on: 13th August 2022

Disgusting treatment of a loyal customer who has been with the bank since 1964

A letter stating my overdraft facility was being withdrawn as I had not used it in a year - actually I was using an overdraft facility of my company bank account with Barclays so didnt need both.Closed the company account and requested a small personal overdraft facility - it was refused - appealed the decision - it was refused again and then the matter was escalated to some higher decision maker who refused it and suggested that I took the matter up with CITIZENS ADVICE ! I will close this account very soon - My son will close both his business and personal account. The way that Barclays treat longstanding customers is awful -they are forgetting that I was only there in the first place because my parents were with Barclays so how much business they will lose from so many disgruntled older customers and their offspring is untold ! Other review sites rate Barclays 45 out of 47 for their service - goodness knows how bad the last two must be .Anyway well done Barclays and good riddance ! Reviewed on: 12th August 2022
