“Avoid the Leeds Moortown Barclay Bank like the plauge.
Horrendous staff, 2 smackhead lads behind the counters, the nearly bald short hair chav looks like a crackhead and both act like they have a important and well paid job (delusional c*nt) and a fat ugly african girl with no manners. The so called branch manager is also a gassed up little squirt, avoid this bank at all costs.”
“Avoid visiting the Leeds Moortown branch on 390 Harrogate road like the plague.
2 smackhead lads behind the counter on minimum wage and a couple of dirty skanks who make up the numbers.
Plenty of other banks who take pleasure in customer service, avoid this bank and its retarded ugly turd staff at all costs.”
“Hi,
Please stop involving us in your criminal political agendas, I’m straight and tolerant but I don’t have to accept your rainbow on my phone, we have children and it is our right to fully protect them and the process starts from our phones.
I’ve taken a decision to close my Barclays account for a unique reason, “ respect me as a non gay person in the same way you are pretending to respect lgbt people and stay neutral”
Good bye and see you never again.”
“Barclays is a bank, not a political institution. You might consider opening a political side to your business and leave those customers that came to you neutrally to stay in peace. Stop shoving your agendas on our phones. Its really senseless and annoying. You should stay neutral to all your customers. Why we don't see you pushing religious agendas to us, stop this or you will lose customers. I don't want cross, rainbow, red or blue logos reflecting your agendas on my phone. Shame on you. One angry customer who happens to be a Christian, stop violating my right of freedom to live my life the way I choose.”
“Shouldn't be promoting personal political agendas whatever the philosophy.. no crosses, crescent moons or rainbows please. Stick to banking and stay out of preaching at down to others. Civil society needs tolerance and that can only be maintained by neutrality.”
“Barclays processes are set up to make it maximally difficult to close an account with them. They force you to waste time on branches and endless calls - both during business hours, as they refuse to give this service on weekends.
Avoid them.”
“We visited Barclays Westfield, Stratford City, we had to wait 50 minutes to pay in a cheque, as there was only one paying in machine working. There was a young Barclays assistant walking around and was bothered about people waiting. There are two paying in machines and only one is working, the other is broken and has been for 2/3 months. This Barclays branch is like a third world bank in experience, just so hopeless.”
“This is the most corrupt bank ever stay away !!!! Run by complete trash wouldn’t give them a penny!! You have to be a business prostitute to work here!!”
“I phoned Domestic and General to book a serviceman for my washing machine and get a text back from Barclays. And, you're asking me what went wrong!?! I thought that would be obvious someone's hacked into your system. Nevermind, stranger things have happened at sea!☺😙☺ Please do get your act together, I've more pressing matters to deal with than to inform you of a security breach. 😍”
“As a former staff personal banker.
As a former staff personal banker.. Premier banker wow they are the epitome of greed... Self cenerdness and backstabbing... I served them in sales for 4 yrs and all I got is the boot!
I dunno if its d brit way to leave your man behind when times get tough.. That's what a former manager left in legacy”
“If your using the account manager machines anyone standing behind can read all the information on screen.Branch staff say they can do nothing about this lack of security.”
“My credit card was blocked as a result of a supposed fraudulent activity attempt which turned out to be a recurrent direct debit payment and was, therefore, a system failure. All my direct debits were declined and my card refused to pay the rest of my holiday, including the accommodation fees causing a huge nightmare.
As soon as I realised of the issue I contacted the customer service department that tried to replace my card, but even though I had provided an Indonesian postal address they somehow decided to send the replacement to my house in the UK. Why would I need the replacement in the UK if I was “enjoying” my holiday in Bali? Ten days had gone by and after a few more hours of customer service, where I was annoyingly verified multiple times and bounced back and forth from one department to the other, I was finally sent an emergency card by Visa which was supposed to take only 48 hours. After four entire days of waiting and frustration my emergency card finally arrived, only to discover the reality that it didn’t work in any ATM, retail or online transaction. A few more hours over the phone with the customer service and my patience had hit rock bottom. I was reassured of receiving a new fully functioning replacement of the credit card as soon as possible but unfortunately, my luck of Barclays customer service wasn’t on my side of the table, once again I was sent a useless replacement to my UK address.
Twenty days have gone by and to date, I still haven’t received a solution. I had to transfer all my available funds from my other Barclays accounts to my Revolut account as I have lost trust in the bank that attempted to serve me well for years. I have explained my anger and disappointment to one of Barclays UK’s Customer Relationship Managers who kindly offered a skinny £50 compensation for the inconvenience!
After the shocking treatment, I can’t wait to close all my Barclays bank accounts as Barclays failed big time in serving its purpose and I don’t believe it deserves my customer loyalty any longer.ileniav85@gmail.com”
“Taking service charge as quick as they can, release funds for customer as slow as they can!! It has take two months that I still haven't get it!! 0 star for the customer service!”
“I've banked with Barclays for nearly 30 years. Finally had enough of their dreadful, uninterested, unhelpful, incompetent India-based customer service. I had an important issue involving a possibly fraudulent item on my account and have spent all afternoon on the phone trying to make myself understood. I still don't know whether the problem has actually been sorted or what is going on because the staff CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH PROPERLY! Enough's enough. I'm off to First Direct.”
“Literally the worst bank I’ve ever spoke to, they are useless and you have to go to lengths just to get any account details. Non of the information they provide makes sense and when you ask what information you need to get access to your account they say sorry we can’t tell you! Absolutely idiots with stupid rules and security system.
My partner was using them and the drama we have had for nine months is absolutely disgusting.
Never use Barclays. Avoid them!
Absolutely idiot don’t want to help or give any advise to you.”
“I would never recommend this bank. My fiancée and I set up a joint account after returning from travelling so save for a house , of which we were going to mortgage through Barclays . The service in the branch was good , we transferred £100 to keep the account active whilst we sent over all our savings . 4 days later we received a text to say our account was a subject of fraud . After ringing the bank I was informed our account was closed and they can’t tell us why, and we have to prove the money in the account is ours to get it back! Which is a long process . Simply can’t believe this is how a bank would do business these days ! Terrible service through the call centres which are clearly not UK based , avoid like the plague !!”
“We decided to move to Barclays because our local Lloyds branch had closed, but having applied in September 2018, it was months before our account was open - and it's been problems all the way! We have been in business since 2012 and have a first class credit history, with no defaults and all loans now repaid over 12 months ago. We had a working overdraft of £3,000 with Lloyds, used on only two or three occasions for a very small amount and for just a few days, but Barclays refused to provide any overdraft facility at all and issued us with a Barclaycard instead - and the online system for that is even worse than the on line system for our current account!
Barclays don't understand the fundamental requirements of bank account administration. For example, their on line statements don't even show the type of transaction - so when I am trying to reconcile our account I have no idea whether the ''money out'' has been paid by card, DD, standing order, BACS or on line payment! Also I can reconcile to a balance at the end of the week, but when I try to reconcile at the end of the following week, I often find that Barclays have retrospectively juggled the previous week's transactions and the balance which I previously reconciled to has disappeared completely! ASK ANY ACCOUNT AND THEY WILL CONFIRM THAT BARCLAYS ARE FLOUTING THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL ACCOUNTING RULES - and they are making a simple job of reconciliation into an impossible nightmare.
To cap it all, Barclays have already closed the local branch on Thursdays and rumour has it that, like Lloyds, Barclays will soon be closing their local branch. What a costly and frustrating waste of time this has been for our small business.
I totally agree with the other comments on here about useless customer service, ''help line'' representatives whose responses are incomprehensible, let alone useless and feedback which is totally ignored.”
