Feel very safe with Barclays

Barclays have a great communication in regards to picking up suspicious activity. Most of the times it is myself and I authorise the activity but once they picked up fraudulent activity that was blocked successfully and a new card was in the post the next day. Reviewed on: 12th January 2022
