barclays.co.uk Reviews

I have held my current account with Barclays now for just over a year and am very happy with the service I have received. Previously I have had current accounts and credit cards with Halifax and HSBC but for now I have no reason to complain with Barclays and will be sticking with them for the forseeable future. I was offered ...  Read the complete review

The majority of visitors will go there to look up information on products, find contact details, apply for products and to use the online banking service. The site has quite a lot of information on the home page but different types of products (Current accounts, ...  Read the complete review

I have banked with Barclays since I was a little girl. Like any other bank these days they have their good points and many bad points but for this review I am just concentrating on their online banking service. Like so many others on this site, you know who you are I am slightly obsessed with checking my bank accounts. It's not just a ...  Read the complete review

I like to keep a very close eye on my finances - not because I love seeing my huge credit balances all the time (oh, I wish!), but because things are often quite precariously balanced and I am forever having to juggle the numbers a bit. So for, me, online banking has been a Godsend. Every morning, first thing, I can log on, and see ...  Read the complete review

I have banked with Barclays for many years and when my friends told me about the revolution of internet banking two years ago I immediately signed up to this great addition to the service I was already happy with. In order to sign up to online banking with Barclays you need to phone up their call centre and tell them you want to sign up ...  Read the complete review

I have now been banking with Barclays for about three years now as me and my Fiance set up a joint acount and now this is our main bank. I have found them very good so far and I like to do my banking online as I can access it as and when I need it. It is quite straight forward to set up and use but in the last week they have ...  Read the complete review

I love internet banking! I work 9-5 and like sleeping in on Saturday's so getting to a bank is a bit of a nightmare. Luckily Barclays allow customers to use their internet banking site for free as part of having an account with them. As I write this I'm going to stick in a few warnings about using internet banking and trying to keep your ...  Read the complete review

How I came to use the site. At the start of this year, I decided to upgrade my "simple simon" Barclays cash card for a current account and card. This was due to the fact that I have become bit of a recluse of late (Ok I m not a recluse, just lazy the bank is nearly 2 miles away). The other reason I got it was because ...  Read the complete review

Barclays are a well renowned company and live up to their reputation to a certain extent. As a customer, I have never had any trouble in contacting or getting any information on products and services. I have been a customer for around 10 years, and I just feel that in the last 3 years Barclays are not interested in the traditional personalised ...  Read the complete review

I have been a customer at Barclays for about 6 years now and I honestly cannot think of one bad experience with them. I have been a student for the past 5 years and Barclays could not have done anything more to make managing my money easier for me. The customer service is excellent and the services they offer, both for regular customers and for ...  Read the complete review

Not at all good - Advantages: Big bank - Disadvantages: Unhelpful staff, Difficult to open an account, Discriminate against students & low income customers

I have seen a lot of online banking offerings, both inside and outside the UK, and Barclays UK online banking is by far the best designed I have seen. I have been using Barclays online/PC banking since 1996 when it was in its infancy, and other banks just don't seem to keep up. FUNCTIONALITY You can do just about anything ...  Read the complete review

A lot of people have sheered away from the new aspect of banking, which all major competitors have introduced. This is taking banking into cyberspace. No more posting checks. Initially I was hesitant at crossing this final frontier but as soon as I did I realised that a whole new world opened up to me and the power of Barclays to render my account ...  Read the complete review

I only decided to take on Barclay's Online scheme when I started work, because it meant that I had to take a day off to sort out my account otherwise. Since I joined about a year and a half ago things have been going well. I now pay most of my bills online, so no more trudging down to the local bank branch or post office and nowadays ...  Read the complete review

I registered in the bank and waited ..it took some time for my membership number to arrive ... a 12 digit number...then 10 days for my passcode ...a 5 digit number. The ...  Read the complete review

I have had a Barclays account for as long as I can remember. I have 2 current accounts with them and two savings accounts. I signed up for online banking about a year ago and was reasonably happy with it, since the new look (and after all the teething problems of seeing other accounts - didn't happen to me!) I have been very impressed. ...  Read the complete review
