Student Overdraft AMAZING!!

4
I had to give Barclays this review because it wasn't for the student additions account (overdraft) I would have been so STRESSED. Though it's not ideal to be living on your overdraft it helps when you don't have to worry about interest rates for a long while. Definitely recommend this account for students that have an average income. Reviewed on: 15th February 2021

Bad service, lots of fraud

1
Every issue takes over an hour to sort on the phone, the peolle on live chat are incompetent. I've had people from barclays I can't use a switch servicing to leave them or that I can't transfer my isa away. They were wrong both times. Had 5 new debit cards in 1 Yr due to details being stolen. One occasion my details were stolen before I had even opened the new card they had sent out. No investigation, communication or apology. All round bad Reviewed on: 12th February 2021

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
