Undoubtedly the best banking and customer services in the UK. Underrated and deserves a far better reputation. Never had an issue with this bank whatsoever to the opposite of all the other banks I have used through the years, where problems occur constantly. The application is also very easy to use and provides an excellent customer experience. I couldn't imagine anything that could disappoint me with this bank and it's services.

Fantastic rates. Great customer service, and easy to use features for CD, and online savings accounts. I've been using Barclay's now for about 2 years and have never had any problems with transactions from my Wells Fargo checking account to the Barclay's saving account I have. Since the interest accrues daily, and there's no minimum balance, and 1.00% APY, I found that I couldn't go wrong with these guys.

I completely disagree with all the negative comments on here. I have been banking online with Barclays since it was introduced and haven't been into a branch to do banking in over 5 years. I have found it really easy to use and secure. I never had any problems logging in (so far!) Yes it can be annoying to not be able to use all the features if you've forgotten your PINsentry reader but I think the benefits and positives far outweigh the negatives and flaws of the service.

Barclay has never let me down. I subsequently withdraw and deposit money with ease and have it connected to PayPal.
It is extremely easy to use, I have had no login issues and their customer service cleared everything up to me. I admit, it has a lot of flaws. But compared to other UK banking, this is by far the best.
My favorite part is that unlike most banking companies, you don't have to pay monthly fees. This really pleased me.
5/5 for sure. I strongly disagree with all negative reviews on this page.
Just because of slight bad experience, doesn't mean it's worse than any of the other banks.

I have to say I completely disagree with most of the other comments here.
Barclay's online banking is really simple and easy to use.
It was a little strange at first using the PINSentry machine, but it's just so simple. Card in, PIN in, type out the 8 digit code you see and there you go!
I've been able to transferee money from account to account in just a few clicks. Pay money to other people's accounts equally as fast. And after doing it once, it can remember who you sent money too, so it's even quicker next time!
I've never had any problem with getting myself set up with internet banking... I would recommend Barclays banking to anyone and everyone.
All around, it's quick, easy, simple and above all it works 24 - 7

Okay - let's be frank, Barclays online banking does exactly what it says on the tin. I can manage my accounts 24x7, transfer money, set up standing orders, check balances and transactions, search for payments, it offers faster payments (if the receiving bank does the same), blah blah. (at zero cost to me and at a time that suits me). You do not require the card reader at every log on, and can view balances and transactions plus transfer money to other Barclays accounts without it, plus pay bills (eg gas, telephone, cards etc).The use of the card reader to log in and set up new payments is required, but big deal, with added security comes a little change. All Banks have their issues, and okay there is room for improvement, which I guess will come at some stage.

Is a fast, easy to navigate, easily readable, and safe online banking system. I've been using Barclays Internet Banking for about 2 years now, and have to say that it has only got better over time.
There's plenty of useful things their online banking service offers. I'm just a student and only really need to use 2 of them.
It allows me to check the balance of my account(s) without any hassle, and i can transfer money to and from accounts with ease. What else could i ask for?

Security is to the max with Barclays. The roll out of PIN sentry devices is a revolution in its own.Gives me a feeling that Barclays is really interested in keeping my money safe.I have also heard that the transfer limit is going to go up and soon we will see CHAPS and BIPS payments online...What else can you ask for ???

Barclays Internet Banking is excellent, easy and free 24 hours. Can be slow sometimes at busy periods.

I agree completely with these comments. Have been using Barclays internet banking for several years, found it efficient, secure, almost always available, and easy to transfer money from one account to another, make payments and alter standing orders, etc.

I have used a couple of internet banking services and I have been happiest with Barclays (www.barclays.co.uk). Even if you forget your login, there is an easy but secure way to retrieve those details to which the same cannot be said for others. 10/10 for a refined service
