Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Easy to open an account

4
I was a UK resident but not citizen recently arrived in the UK. I went to several banks to open an account but found them uninterested and unhelpful, except Barclays. Several years later I am still with them. Reviewed on: 15th February 2016

Great Bank

Great online banking services, app easy to use. However the online chat facility via the app is a little frustrating as you can be waiting for quite sometime for an agent to answer your questions Reviewed on: 19th January 2021

Appalling.. No customer care

1
Appalling. Can't believe l just read barclays reviews now before l write my review. It's unbelievable. I have had my online banking blocked.. Well l need to sort it out through the phone.l have waited for 35mins to talk on the phone which was cut before l even spoke to any one. Surely, Barclays, you know how this means to us during the pandemic. The customer care is non existent if not operational. Well in this time of economic restraints, can't believe this is the way you treat your customers. Reviewed on: 27th November 2020

Poor bank. Poor services

1
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
