Great professional banking

5
Been outstanding since I joined, feel really looked after. Their Blue Rewards is great & have accumulated a bit up to now. I was with a different bank for years which I liked however Barclays are far superior in every way conceivable - I'm glad I changed. Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

Really difficult to get a paper bank statement posted Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

Loyalty

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

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

Good banking system

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
