    shocking bank!, have banked with them for 4 years, went £200 overdrawn initially, am now 4500 overdrawn 3500 is in charges am getting charged more than i can put in, am totaly trapped by the b******s and now i cant set up another account anywhere else because they have ruined my credit rating, do yourselves a favour people and stash your money under a floorboard!!!

    if i treated people like this id have gone down the pan 2, no wonder they need public bale out!

    p.s just pressed confirm

    i only gave one star rating because i had to give them something, as if my money wasnt bad enough!! i have to give a false rating!

    Feel taken for granted, slow response time, don't feel they are working in our best interests just theirs

    Assured when I started with Barclays that all Business Accounts were handled in UK with no Indian call centres used. Immediately I discovered all IT was handled in India. Later I dicovered that ALL business goes through India. Getting hold of your business manager means hanging on at the Indian call centre until they can track him down, after asking for your account and pass details 3 times... there must be a better way!!!

    My business has a full order book and is now making money after a difficult last few months but Barclays will not help us out with a small loan for 6 weeks. Avoid this bank like the plague, they have no intentions of helping anyone but themselves. I am now looking at moving banks.

    Very simply, the worst bank I have ever dealt with. I cannot begin to explain the trouble that I have had! I am a small new business that has grown beyond expectations, the bank simply did not want to help and further more have created problems. I am unable to make international payments! No overdraft facility though I have £300K worth of orders to process! I am simply scratching the surface, I do not know where I am going but as long as it's under the mattress its in a better place. ...

    Barclays is a dreadful bank to bank with for buinesses. Everything goes via India its not personal you don't even have Branch Manager to help you in the branch your just a number not a person. Have been with them 45 years and now leaving them.

    I have banked with Barclays for over 25 years, have banking share accounts and Business accounts with them. I am moving all of them on Monday morning. They have been completely hopeless from start to finish. Staff say they will do things and simply don't respond to calls.

    Barclays Business Bank Accounts are Quite happy to take your money, they keep taking money out for services and refuse to send invoices to cover the amounts taken from the account.
    They have never been help with anything, avice or assistance with loans

    In fact I am looking to move to another bank as the severce and treatment of thier customers is rubbish at best

    My busy small business account experience with Barclays has been a comedy from the start. If I was a scriptwriter I could make a fortune doing a sitcom from my experience.
    I came in on a Fast Track via my solicitor, which actually delayed setup of my account. It took four weeks to 'fast track' and 'Priority!' my account setup.
    I got sent pin codes but no cards. Then the cards came but were eaten by the machine when i used them. Then they sent cards, but no pin code.
    My local business manager co ...

    I have been banking with barclays for over 20 years. Recently opened a new business account with them. Had a small problem with streamline and they recalled a payment that went into my Barclays account. Within 24hrs i received a letter from Barclays saying they are going to close my personal and business account and i should withdraw all funds within 2 weeks. Anyway, streamline have since sorted the problem and returned funds to my account. The response from Barclays has been abysmal. My c ...

    After having my personal account with Barclays for 14 years, when I needed a business account I looked to them first. They were also offering a good deal with the automated tariff. They were awful from the start, others have mentioned similar problems to myself so I'm pleased to hear I'm not alone. I won't rant but wanted to give an idea of what I went through whilst with Barclays. I was sent my bank card but no pin number, when I called I was told one hadn't been ordered, they will get one sent ...

    I spent 10 months with a Barclays business account, I have had my personal account with them for 14 years without a problem. I have had nothing but problems since I opened the account, I don't think I have managed a month without something going wrong. They started by sending my card but not ordering the pin number, they have closed accounts in error, cancelled cards in error, I had 3 cards in the first 6 months. They registered me as trading as someone I had never heard of & then told me I ...

    I run (on my own) my small print and design business from home. I have two Barclays Business Bank Accounts; one a current, for day to day transactions with a decent overdraft facility (never used except on the odd occasion) and the other a business premium which is hardly ever empty. I bank online which is perfect. I run a very tight ship, if by chance the current did go overdrawn due to time gaps, there is an automatic overnight top up facility of £1000 to that account from the other. I ...

    If you have bacs paymnents or other payments going in and payments going out at the same time they will always put payments going out through first so you become overdrawn check your statements ( I bet you probably haven't noticed that one) also double check your charges staement as several times we have been charged cheque referel fees ( £30 for each one) when there hasn't been any.
    We have banked with Barclays for 25 yrs but we are moving to Abbey free banking forever interest on your mo ...

    Great account loads of extra features, it helped to have Sage for the first year free, but will be switching as the monthly account payment to barclays will not be justified.

    We bank with Barclays from the day we started our business, some three years ago, and have found them very helpful. It has the longest open hours compared to other banks, even Sat morn. The staff at our branch are most helful. Our local business contact has been brilliant.
    On the whole we have been very pleased with Barclays just wish they would overall their charges so they are applied fairly.

    They said they give out 7 days notice in cancelling my Barclays Business Bank Account. Apparently they sent a letter. This letter has not yet reached me. They closed the account yesterday, I called them this morning and they told me they cannot explain , just that I do not meet barclays criteria. So if I never rang them today I'd only have 5 days left, that's if the letter comes tomorrow. They didn't even discuss anything with me.
    I'm getting paid into the account on Friday. I told them this bu ...

    I signed up for a Business Bank Account with Barclays in December of 2007. It is now April 2008 and they still have not been able to get it opened. That is over FOUR MONTHS. I mean seriously. You would think I had something crazy in my setup plan or something that would be special, but no - I am just a normal contractor with my own Limited Company and I need a bank to put money into and get it out of.Currently, I call the Customer Support line 2-3 times a week to see how the progress is going.
