Excellent digital bank!

Over the past 12-24 months I have started to do more and more of my day to day banking through the Barclays mobile app. Everything I need is now available and so easy....I have not visited a branch or called the telephone number for a couple of years now. Reviewed on: 4th February 2019

Best Bank For Young People

Barclays Bank are an exceptional institution that provides fantastic tools to manage your money, in the most convenient way, when compared to other banks. Their Credit Builder card (which I have recently been accepted for), is a great way to start building credit as a student, if you have not had a credit card before. Highly recommended to my friends.

Premier current account

Have had excellent service on every occasion that I have needed to contact them, no matter how small the query has been. After all the problems that banks have had in recent times , the service that I have received really surprises me. Credit where it deserves it, is my motto. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2018

Everything has been sorted the easiest way

5
There was a problem with Barclays as I contacted customer support by phone regarding change my personal account details. Operators were not able to access my account without telephone password. I made a complaint by email and very soon, maybe in 30 min someone from Barclays contacted me by phone to help me sort out this problem. Everything has been done extremely easy way with apologising and compensation from Barclays. I am a Barclays' customer since 2009 I think and I am absolutely satisfied with its service. Thank you Reviewed on: 22nd April 2018

Very happy but a little guilty

5
We have taken up premier banking when offered to us. However, I feel really quite guilty in terms of being offered to be first in the queue if we call. What is this about? We are really happy with Barclays but this seems injust. Reviewed on: 11th February 2018
