Excellent service on the online chat, sorted my issue quickly. I wanted to select maturity options but they were not available in the app and I had to try to remember my login details for the website. Should be possible on the app. Reviewed on: 25th September 2023

CAN"T LOG IN - ALL TOO DIFFICULT

I have two savings accounts for my kids. The paying-in process is a bit clunky (you actually pay into one big Barclay's Account). I haven't been able to get online to see how much is saved because I can't log on. Their system is so glitchy and their response so slow that I'll be retired before I get anywhere (and I'm not close to retirement age). I'm reluctantly going to give up and just go bank somewhere else. Life is too short. Reviewed on: 25th September 2023

It would of been nice if my local branch had been open but I was able to do what I wanted with the member of staff over the phone. Reviewed on: 25th September 2023

I liked the actual human interaction not just "press 1 for <something you don't need>, 2 for <something else you don't want>". Computers don't do good customer service; your human did. Reviewed on: 25th September 2023

Competitive interest rates for investors. Reviewed on: 25th September 2023
