I was having problems with an ex's debts and needed to shut down my old bank account and transfer everything to Barclays. They took me on even though they knew i was in debt and did everything for me. I was never made to feel awkward or embarrassed. Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Always Helpful

Have always been able to help and always been courteous Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Outdated and ineffective

It took 15 months of forms, calls, branch visits and finally legal intervention to retreive funds which Barclays had held on to after coding a "dormant" account. My family and I were thwarted at every turn by poor communication, ill trained staff, teams buried within the bowels of the bank's centralised structure and just plain apathy or hostility from frontine staff at branches. A truly sick and ineffective relic of an institution. Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025
