Barclays Bank Reviews
Newest Review: ... Each month I am sent a statement of what is in my account/what I've spent etc., but have changed now so I get an online statement (this was very easy for me to do). I have also linked my account to PayPal, and I had no problem with this either. I recently forgot my PIN number (I know, pretty stupid of me!) but Barclays were so helpful and they sent me a new PIN number within a week. I recently had to ring them up to get information on my account, and the man I spoke to was very friendly, incredibly helpful and also really professional. The conversation took quite a bit longer than I had hoped, but this was because I needed to ans... more

I am a student and all I really needed was a bank which was easy for me to deal with and where I could dump my money safely! Although I use this bank fairly simplistically, I have had an account (and debit card) with them for a few years, and have never had any major problems. The reason for me choosing this bank was probably because the staff seemed friendly, and it's in the centre of my town so I can get to it with no difficulties. Each month I am sent a statement of what is in my account/what I've spent etc., but have changed now so I get an online statement (this was very easy for me to do).

Barclays has been holding my money hostage for around 5years!!! On a working holiday in the UK, I breezed through worked hard and left a lil return money for my return of 600-700 pounds. They have luddite ways of contact - no email, fax, Skype, Video-conference, only snail mail and a contact centre that can not connect you with the branch. They said my signatures don't match up - who has the same signature every-time?! I gave copies of my barclays card and current id. and the rep said they were protecting my bank account - a, if you know it's me then why not give me my money?! In a recent conversation they said drop into a branch - um, there are none ... Read the complete review

I have banked with Barclays for a approximately 2 years now. In that time I have not had any major problems with them. I have experienced average service. I opened my account at the Romford branch. A member of staff opened my current account swiftly and without any problems. The Barclays online banking service is very useful. I am able to swiftly set up, vary and cancel standing orders as well as make payments, cancel direct debits and move money between my accounts. Another useful aspect of online banking is the ability to open new accounts online. For many basic accounts like Cash Isas (a kind of tax free savings account) and other savings accounts, the ...

I have been with Barclays for about 20 years. I have considered moving on occassion but have not really have any need to do so. I find that their size is useful in that they are in most high streets and there are many cashpoints available. I sometimes get calls from their 'Premier' team trying to help me with the account and presumably look to sell products to me but as I am already a Financial Adviser I simply tell them that I do not need assistance and they do not press me. I guess banking experiences are best considered when there are people who have some problems meeting payments and exceeding overdraft limits etc. Fortunately I have only had ...
