I always receive friendly and polite service through barclays.

I have always had positive views about barclays I am currently with them myself never had any issues with them. I find they have recently been giving me more like my insurance for example last year i wasn't able to insure my laptop as they was only allowing products to the value of £800 though my laptop was worth more but I'm glad barclays are now allowing me to insure it at such a great price! I feel I have always been receiving the service I want and they are very helpful and polite in local branches too. Reviewed on: 7th November 2015
