I can't stand what it has become. It had deteriorated over the last 20 years. I preferred it when the setting was more formal. Stop shutting down branches.

Not good for long term customers

Unable to switch rates online, unable to get through to a person

No matter how often you send the info. they dont seem to file it away or bother to read it. We have been with them thirty years and still they don’t know who we are. Today yet another review on. Pain of closing the count if we dont send it. Just awful awful customer relations. Read more Read less

Using the business credit card and using 2 factor authentication is pathetic but even worse is dealing with the noisy background customer service team that can hardly speak English let alone understand English. Clearly the people that decide to outsource customer service to a country that English is a second or third language NEVER have to call the call centre!! Read more Read less

I have a small business and opened a Barclays business account. They phoned me out the blue and said they were from Know Your Customer team and asked for birth date, mother’s maiden name… I said sorry I don’t know who you are, was a bit rude and hung up. They then put a red mark against my name and account and for over a year have been demanding details about the business - making me complete forms of information, repeatedly said there’s missing details. They have frozen access to my bank account over 25 times in the last year. I’ve spent weeks worth of time talking to them to unfreeze it so I can pay people and receive income… it’s been awful. I have contract that pay in so it’s hard to switch banks. I put in a complaint and they closed that after two days without talking to me to resolve anything. Stay away from them if you are thinking of using them. This is harassment and I’ve thought of giving up on the business at times when I’ve been trying to pay things only to find my account frozen and it’s an hour wait in call centre queue to explain the issues yet again… Read more Read less

I have been a loyal customer for over six years, but my recent experience with their customer service has been extremely disappointing. Without any prior notice or explanation, my account was suddenly closed. When I contacted customer service to resolve the issue, the situation only deteriorated. The representatives I spoke to were not only unhelpful but also rude. Communication was frustratingly difficult, with one agent hanging up on me after a 30-minute conversation. To make matters worse, another representative provided me with incorrect information. Overall, this has been the most frustrating and unacceptable customer service experience I've ever encountered Read more Read less

I have managed the Barclays accounts for two UK charities for over 16 years. With that experience, i can truly say the service is dreadful. Avoid -avoid -avoid.

We made a duplicate payment to another bank on their instruction as we believed it didn’t go through so we asked Barclays if it had they said no and do it again . Next day both payments came out !!! We asked them to recall it , they did but the other bank didn’t respond and now Barclays say not there problem bye ! Disgusting service we are now down £1000 and they don’t even care we are a small business and this has crippled us due to their incompetence! Read more Read less
