I have been a customer of Barclays for several decades and always experienced great customer service with a smile Reviewed on: 4th June 2019

Long Time Customer Satisfaction

I have banked with Barclays for over 10 years now, and they never disappoint. Fabulous customer service, and brilliant online system for banking. Reviewed on: 3rd June 2019

Helpful staff

My bank card was damaged, so I went into a branch. Was immediately seen to by a staff member who tried to pass me off to one of their many machines. I explained my predicament, and was thankfully directed to a real person to deal with. Very friendly and helpful service by the cashier, and my new bank card arrived 2 days later. Reviewed on: 30th May 2019

Happiness

Baclays its one of the best banks I ever been with. They are always in time with my payments/transfers and the staff from branch always open to help me out. Reviewed on: 9th May 2019

Fair and honest banking

After becoming ill and falling into financial difficulties I had to go through bankruptcy. Barclays where the only bank to allow me to open up a simple account and help me to go forward with my life Reviewed on: 25th April 2019

Great personal service

Staff are generally on hand and happy to help with any queries I've had - whether this was in a physical branch, online or over the phone. Reviewed on: 20th April 2019

Goodbye Local Branches

Current account. Does the job. I can pay things in and pay things out. I can set up the usual Direct Debits and Standing Orders. Online works fine. At least this is free unlike their previous packaged bank accounts. Plus Sides - its does work as a current account. Down Sides - good luck trying to find a branch of their bank if you live outside of a BIG city. They have closed so many branches now I have to pay for a bus to reach my branch. If I have a cheque to pay in worth £5 it costs me more in bus fares than the cheque is worth. Cheers Barclays. Reviewed on: 16th April 2019

Could be worse

Simple honest banking

Never had an issue. Great security and customer service. Reviewed on: 15th April 2019
