Loyalty

3
Been with them for 40 years, no problems so far. Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

Well thought out range of functionality

5
The app and the website both allow users to perform a wide range of tasks and it's a pleasure to want to do something very specific, and finding that the Barclays team have preempted their customers needs and developed it. Huge range of functionality vs other banks. Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

Looks after my money

4
Have always banked with barclays and have never had any issues. Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

Good banking system

4
I have a current account with Barclays I set it up due to not having photo ID and they are one of the only banks that don't require this when making an account online. I like the features of the app however it doesn't always work its good to keep up to date with my balance. Never had an issue with Barclays and neither have friends that use them too Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

Great

5
Never had any problems with Barclays since I moved to them a few years ago. Like them so much have opened a savings account and ISA too Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

closed weekend desk service in the main branch

3
Small local branches like West Bridgford and Newark are fabulous for customer service but High Street in Nottingham is appalling. Sloppy couldn't care staff and now they have closed counter service on a Saturday. Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

Customer Service

I have been with them for over 30 years and always found them helpful and informed and any issues sorted out Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

Barclays Current account

Been a Barclays customer for many years, and would never change. Great customer services, and are always keeping in contact with ref your account, security and spending habits. Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

Efficient Current Account Switch Service

5
Very good experience trying to switch current accounts to Barclays. Everything went smoothly. I also like the app for its user-friendliness. Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

Good Online and App Services

3
I like the online banking service - easy to use and seemingly reliable. Also the mobile app - which is intuitive and provides a comprehensive set of services. Rarely use any branches - which is perhaps testament to the usability of online services Reviewed on: 8th February 2020
