Decided to go to Nottingham City Centre Barclays today. They had closed my local branch down. Got there just before it was opening, which was a very late 10am. This late opening time is ridiculous. At 10am there was a queue of 24 people outside. I chose to go in 10 minutes later.. Guess what? At 10.10am there was a 45 minute wait for counter service. I waited 40 minutes a few months ago. This time I went straight home. Utterly diabolical and unacceptable.

I know security is important but their recent attempts at improving security is OTT. Why, when a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer without any need to access bank account details are they refusing to reply without me having to go through their tiresome pinsentry procedure. Now on line purchases require the same pinsentry verification process - whats so different with shop purchases?

Just generally atrocious service and dreadful online banking interface. Only ever 1 till open in branches (other people aimlessly wandering about tho) so when you get the customer with the 45 minute query it all comes to a stop. Open another till when busy ? What ? The online banking and sharedealing used to be quite good. SInce the revamp a couple of years ago it is on the verge of unusable - frustrating, slow, klunky and illogical. I haven't done a share deal with Barclays since. Some quite pleasant people work there but don't expect any kind of helpful or efficient service from the Barclays service "system" itself. Been with them 43 years but no longer my main bank, obviously !

Member of staff arrived 10 minutes late for my appointment. He did not introduce himself, nor greeted me in any way - just sat down and started tapping away at the computer. My ID was on the table in front of me, instead of asking for it he just grabbed it and started putting my details into the system. Asked me if I knew the benefits/details of the bank account to which I said no and he said nothing further. Was very rude and brash throughout the entire appointment and did not tell me anything about what exactly he was doing. Severely disappointed with the customer service here, will not be returning to the Purley, Surrey branch again.

Queuing for 20 mins at warrington 22/08/19 Only 1 person on till to help 2 floating ladies seem to help small enquiries but stand chatting ! Why can no one jump on the empty till and help out? One man worried about parking fine. Just rediculous

My worst banking experience. Call Center is in the Phillipines and they are unable to answer serious queries. You are put on perpetual hold and then the call times out. I have been trying to set up BACS payment for a week. now. Absolute disregard for customer's needs.

Been told one thing by more than one person to then be told its all wrong and surprise surprise Barclays now stand to gain money off me. F joke of a company and staff. Absolute flicking disgusted with them and how I've been treat. Will definitely leave and not use again.

Aufull don't trust them with you valuable money. Law to themselves. Do what they want. Freeze your money and close account with no notice whatsoever. BE AWARE.

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.
