Safe

4
My number one priority when choosing a bank - is my money safe. If Barclays has proved something to me it's that my money is safe. Additionally any problems I've had with the bank have been sorted no more than 24-hours after I've complained. The maintenance notification is also very helpful. Reviewed on: 29th January 2020

SERVICE REVIEW SO FAR

4
Seems to operate on line but admin is a nightmare to get names added or taken away = 6 months of hassle to get sorted many reported. BUT when established seems OK so far! Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Mobile App is second to none!

5
Barclays Mobile App is the best I have seen in the market with lots more features than most others.. I can see all my accounts, loan, credit card and mortgage all in one place. I also love that I can personalise the picture on my debit card and block or limit my card use in the app. Reviewed on: 27th January 2020
