Too scared to innovate. Copycat all the new banks and try to kill them on features. Basically the Facebook of banking. Reviewed on: 16th January 2020

Closest to a challenger bank!

5
I have been a Barclays customer for all of my life. Recently took up starling, monzo and all of the other challenger banks and I would say Barclays is most comparable. The only things Barclays needs to get is instant notifications, creating pots, rounding up, direct debit notifications before a direct debit goes out and no fees/fixed small fee for foreign transactions. Otherwise the UX/UI is great and continuously improving, it’s quick and easy to use. I think Barclays have taken the right path in developing its current product unlike NatWest or the other banks who have launched standalone challenger banks like Bó or Mettle. Keep doing what you’re doing and add the benefits challenger banks give you and you have a customer for life! Reviewed on: 13th January 2020

Still leading the way

Over the years Barclays always led the way in service design. Today they still have the most intuitive in-branch experience and the ever most innovative app. Reviewed on: 6th January 2020
