Best bmb

It’s so easy to use and very secure Reviewed on: 23rd December 2019

easy banking, difficult to deal with in case of fraud

Banking with Barclays is easy. I've had an account with them for as long as i can remember. However,I had money stolem from my account by fraudsters a few times. Some being subscriptions that somehow Barclays was not able to cancel several months in a row. In the third month happening they refused to refund me the cost anymore with no explanation.

OK

Ok experience, no hassle, just works Reviewed on: 16th December 2019

Always helpful on phone or in person

Helped me every step of the way moving me from another bank to theirs. Reviewed on: 11th December 2019

Reliable

I have had a bank account with Barclays for the past 20 years and have always found them to be a good bank, great opportunity for savings and loans and credit cards at competitive rates. Would recommend Barclays to others. Great app and online services with telephone support or online chat if needed. Reviewed on: 11th December 2019

Great banking

after having previously been treated appallingly by RBS barclays is so refreshing. They have fantastic customer service skills and helped me get out of debt. Reviewed on: 8th December 2019

Not the best

On the positive side I find the banking app easy to use. However, I have had issues with their charges and their packages not being clear. I also think they are not very ethical so I am thinking of banking elsewhere. Reviewed on: 5th December 2019

Decent rewards

It’s been a hassle free account with good rewards and helpful customer service. Reviewed on: 4th December 2019

Great bank

Barclays have good security and are very good at communicating with their customers. They do not spam you and have good optional notifications. Reviewed on: 4th December 2019

Total control of your money and insight into your spending habits.

Best in the market banking app. Can virtually do anything that you would do in a branch. To top it all 24/7 video banking where you speak to a qualified professional and very well trained banker (not a customer service agent based on some other planet), who address all your banking queries, resolve issues and affect transactions.
