Barclays Bank Reviews

Barclays is just one of many banks I hold a current account with. The service with Barclays though has always been a little different than the rest. Some of their staff seem to be much younger and lack basic knowledge. When I have been to the bank with queries about payments going through or anything about my direct debits they have ...  Read the complete review

One of the top banks in the world, with branches spreading across the world! You would think they got there with excellent customer service and management, all is not so... It has to be said that Barclays does boast a nationwide array of easy access branches, and you're never far from a cash point that supports a Barclaycard. ...  Read the complete review

I joined Barclays in March this year so that I could take advantage of their excellent regular saver rate of 6%. Applying for the savers had to be done in branch, however staff were very friendly and did not push other products onto us, although we did have to wait over an hour to speak to someone. Once I had my saver set up I expected ...  Read the complete review

I had a savings account from April of this year to September of this year with Barclays. At the time it offered one of the best rates of interest available, and it was very easy to open the account and pay in my money. When I opened the account I explained in September I would be going off to university, and would like to use the account for my ...  Read the complete review

I had a current account with Barclays for several years in a joint name. However, after my husband died in 2006 I changed this into just my name. As time went on I did run the account down and just left a small amount of money in it to keep it ticking over untill I made some financial decisions. When I did so I went into my local bank to sort ...  Read the complete review

Barclays is a UK Bank and I am sure that anyone who has been in Uk is familiar with them. They have a very wide network of branches and it is primarily for this reason that I opened an account with them more than 10 years ago. Today I still use Barclays for savings, although in the current climate interest rates are not that great and ...  Read the complete review

I got my first Barclays account as a student, and they were wonderful - I can't remember what they bribed me with to join but it was good, and when my loan came in they talked about the best savings account options with me, made sure I had an interest-free overdraft and in general took great care of me. Things started changing when I ...  Read the complete review

After having a nightmare of a time whilst banking with a Barclays competitor I finally had enough and changed. I think I choose a bad time to switch banks as it was right in the middle of the 'credit crunch' I had no idea who to choose as everyone seemed to be crying out for customers. Anyway after lots of internet browsing and a little bit ...  Read the complete review

I have been with Barclays for a number of years now after leaving my previous bank due to them being pushy and very pushy into the products. However I have found that Barclays have treated me extremely well. I feel as though I am a person and not just a number or even worse to make money from! When I go into my local bank they know who I am and ...  Read the complete review

I have been a customer of Barclays Bank since my college days 15 years ago when I was saving for uni and have stayed with them ever since. What I like about Barclays is that they are on every high street, and i have found the staff to be (mostly) very helpful in all the branches I have ever used. I also rate their online banking system very highly ...  Read the complete review

I've been a Barclays customer for eight years, have a current account, a Barclaycard and an ISA with them. I first started using the bank as a student, because they offered a pretty good overdraft limit. However, eight years later and I am currently experiencing some pretty shocking customer service in my opinion, which is making me ...  Read the complete review

I have mixed opinions on barclays. I have been with them now for the past six years. during this time i've had peroids where i've had a lot of money paid in each month, and periods where i've had hardly any and needed an overdraft. for a long time i didn't have a bad word to say about barclays. at a pushi would complain about their telephone ...  Read the complete review

I have been a customer of Barclays Bank for about 5 years now, and although I can say that on some occasions the service has been excellent, this high standard is not consistent. Whenever I visit my local branch the service is fantastic, the staff are always really friendly and go out of their way to help. However whenever I have phoned ...  Read the complete review

My barclays account was first setup for me by my mother when i was just 10 years old, obviously young and just being told that didn't bother me as long as i got a happy meal afterwards. 12 years later, barclays are the bane of my life, I started working at 16 and it was fine a standard account for a minor, when I turned 18 I went into ...  Read the complete review

Barclays bank is a household name and is one of the few remaining UK banks on the high street. I have been a client of them for more than 16 years, although during my years away from uk my account was dormant. I opened my account with them with no request for utility bills,proof of address and so on, but these days you will ...  Read the complete review

I knew nothing about banks really until I was at college and I decided to try a part-time job at a well known motor/cycle high street chain. A friend from college had only recently started working at the store and he persuaded me to apply, so I got the job, but the important bit was a bank account, which again he helped with as he was ...  Read the complete review

Barclays Bank community accounts - avoid at all costs. I have recently taken over as treasurer of a small charity. I knew the accounts were in a mess but assumed it would be easy to sort things out, as soon as I could gian account access - it still maybe, but after 3 months and numerous hours listening to tinkly music I still am wasting all my ...  Read the complete review

Well First of all I would like to mention that I used to work for Barclays as a cashier so firstly I will tell you about my experiences I started at 16 and was my first full time job. They put me at a branch even about an hour away even though there were several branches within 20 min. The Induction training (which was a 2 day course) ...  Read the complete review

I have banked with Barclays for around two years now. It was hassle free and easy to set up a current account and i also set up an easy saver account at the same time. I found the lady in the branch helpful although since then i must say i don't find them that impressive. They often don't seem that they have been trained in all areas which i'm ...  Read the complete review
