Amazing attention to detail

Nothing is ever a problem. Monthly calls to check they are doing everything they can to help. They phoned me today to let me know if I transferred my savings to a different type of account I could gain more interest! I already have my savings with them!! Reviewed on: 20th November 2019

Mobile Banking is the best I have used

5
With the multitude of banks I use for my three small businesses, personal accounts and executor accounts, I have to take the time to say that the Barclays mobile banking app is the most comprehensive, easy to use, reliable and secure app I have come across. I use four banking apps, and my immediate family have another two. There is no comparison! Barclays are streets ahead. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
