  @Barclays @BarclaysUK , Worse Bank Ever ! Every day Having to Call them, >5 times in last ten days or so. They block the most redisclose of payments like to your energy provider, Or you shop for an hour in a supermarket to get to checkout and they decline your card, then block it after u check balance in a machine outside, to only then when you see you have money in there struggling to understand wtf is going on, you try remove the money then it kills the card. Every one knows how embarrassing issues like huge que waiting for me and my useless plastic. Then U have to apply new card.... "We activated the touchless payment so u can use it while you wait for new card", they say. Ordered card on 11th the card never turns up but a letter from them did. and surprise surprise u can use it in all the shops touchless other than the shops you want to use it. Great work guys..... @grok what do you make of these shenanigans, do you think a bank like this is fit for purpose ?

  @BarclaysUK @Barclays : i was patient 5 years but no more tolerance .. i just sent below email to the another bank : " Hello ........., I received an automatic out-of-office message from ...... and thought I could move forward with your assistance. I would like to open a business account, as I am not satisfied with the service I receive from Barclays. I have had a business account with them since 2019, but the customer service has been consistently poor, so I have decided to stop working with them. Thank you for your help. "

  @BarclaysUK dear Barclays, firstly I want to say I’m grateful for my mortgage I have with you. As my mortgage wasn’t straightforward at all and you approved it so thank you so I want to thank you for that. However I want to make a complaint about your member of staffs rather odd attitude with me over the phone today when I phoned customer services Firstly my card was frozen by yourselves totally out the blue for NO reason I just made a eBay transaction of £100 and I often shop at eBay. Now the customer service woman said Barclays had frozen my card because you detected fraud on my card. I confirmed with her there was no fraud all purchases were mine. I said to her that Barclays should notify their customers when cancel / freeze cards. She said yes we have texted you. I said no you haven’t but she kept disagreeing with me saying they had. THEY HADNT neither had they sent me any email notifying me of you freezing my card I was totally unaware of you doing this and why Now only through phoning up cust services did I find out you had frozen my card due to you suspecting fraud Now I said to the lady that’s fine you being secure for your customers. But I said it’s not good when customers are not notified. She was not sympathetic to my complaint and she had a abrupt manner and tone I wasn’t keen on her attitude Secondly if I was a mentally disabled person or elderly person and didn’t think to phone you or didn’t know how to get your phone number And I was out of my house no internet to get your number off Google Then I would have been stranded without use of my card and no way of knowing why or what to do That’s why I’m making the complaint so doesn’t happen to anyone else Your staff member had no sympathy with my valid complaint she had cold attitude I just wanted to make you aware of this

  @Barclays I’ve banked with @BarclaysUK since I was 15 — 43 years without ever being overdrawn or causing a problem. I recently received a notice that my account will be closed because I now currently live overseas. I still hold a British passport, pay UK bills, and plan to return home regularly , and intend to retire in the UK. I completely understand compliance rules, but this feels harsh after four decades of loyalty. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this now common practice for British expats? Feels like loyalty no longer counts for much in modern banking.

  @BarclaysUK Trying to switch my joint account to you to get the £200 switch payment. It says I must use the app to do this which I've done, but it didn't provide an option for joint. I now find out you can't open a joint account in the app. What a **** experience.

  Had a bank account with @Barclays since I was 16. Today they rejected a payment to someone because they were satisfied. Guess what I’m a grown man. I won’t be held hostage by @BarclaysUK closing my account down!!!!!!

  i have a problem i lost my card the other day after shopping at my local supermarket and although you have emailed to say you have posted my newcard out to me as a pensioner with health problems is there any alternative for me to get some money out to keep me going until my new card arrives other than going into town which will be difficult for me practically to get to my local branch? @BarclaysUK
