Great Bank

I have a Barclays basic account as a secondary account never had any issues. Find Barclays great to deal with and they deliver what they promise. Reviewed on: 28th October 2020

account locked

accounts locked. Phone calls upto 2 hours five and on the phone now. I was asked loads of questions and told its been unlocked tried to make a payment and its delayed again - I will move all my money as soon as they will let me ! Reviewed on: 25th October 2020

Poor bank. Poor services

I'm not happy with the service I'm provided. There never is offers for me to take out for example a over draft and there never has been since I've been banking with you for over 8 years or more. I earn over £4,000 a month most months, I will pay the remaining loan balance off which is very low now and I will be leaving this bank. The bank is too hard work for me I struggle to call the bank never mind use the card reader which I have never been able to use or keep, I work and travel and this is no good for me. To even send a message to you you have to use the machine. Not happy at all. I've asked to leave once before to lloyds and you did not accept that move so I will be going to the fianaical ombudsman for advice on why you are able to put a stop to it.

Ridiculous Wait Times

Barclays have put a block on my debit card and it is now impossible to get through to the team to unblock it, I've spent hours - so much for premier banking! I've been with Barclays for 20 + years and will now be leaving! Reviewed on: 6th October 2020

Barclays - best bank

Have dealt with Barclays bank for many years now, always extremely accommodating, friendly, helpful, happy staff. It is never too much trouble for them. Online and app banking system is also so easy to use. Reviewed on: 18th September 2020

Great friendly service however required

I feel that Barclays bank offers second to none service whether in the branch or through their app. It is so easy to use their facilities and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Reviewed on: 16th September 2020
