    Just want to let everyone know that if you are ever logged out of your barclays internet banking account. You have no access to your funds for about 1 week!!! Until you receive your new password in the mail. That means you can make a payment and you cant see your statements. All you are told by t ...

    Unfortunately all the other banks seem to just as bad Lloyds - personal account for over 30 years.
    You now need to give them a special security code before they will tell you the opening hours for a specific branch.
    (1) A customer's cheque for £ 849 was paid into our current account on 31 Dece ...

    Barclays is one of the worst banks. I have had the experience of having my account stealthily changed from free checking to one that cost £ 10 per month, without actually being told about it at all. When I complained I was told it was changed back and it wasn't. Then I was refunded only part o ...

    I tried to get a form from a Barclays branch to change the signature mandate for a community account . Unbelievably they do not hold forms in the branch, even in electronic files, and asked me to phone a number when I got home. The call took nearly ten minutes including waiting in a queue. Barclay ...

    I am a new customer to Barclays - but have got quite a few experiences that make me feel deeply unsatisfied. First, I opened a cash ISA with them - just to find out that it took them a month to register the account, although they happily accepted the cash right away. Once it was opened a month later ...

    I recently tried to transfer to Barclays from my current bank due to poor service, however should not have wasted my time. I went into one branch with my wife with all our ID but was told they couldn't open an account there, so arranged an appointment at another branch near my work. I went and was ...

    I am an Australian citizen with a British passport. I have been in England for 4 years, and have thus far banked with Lloyds. My partner has banked with Barclays for much of his life, and we therefore decided to open a joint account. I have no debt, and I am a professional in the financial services ...

    I've banked with them for as long as I can remember, and in general I am quite satisfied with them, but I feel that little-by-little the customer service is slipping badly, and I fear that it may be the end of Barclays as a bank I would trust.

    For example, a while ago I paid a cheque into my bank ...

    I have banked with Barclays for over 20 years. During this time I have switched branches a few times, and I have always found great customer service.

    I don't often call by telephone, but on the odd occasion, I have never been directed to overseas call centres, and I have found them to be reliable ...

    I have banked with them for over 35 years. This week I tried to transfer £19,000 to an account at another bank. The internet banking would only let me transfer £1,000 per day, and on being advised to go to a branch, they would only transfer £5,000 per day unless I paid £20.00 ...
