    4 Stars Banking online with Barclays 19/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Makes banking easy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Makes getting in to debt just as easy

    I have been using Barclay's online banking for what seems like ages. I think that it's the case for most people that trying to access your local branch can sometimes be a pain. At the moment my 'local' branch is over an hours drive away. However, when I was in a more 'normal' location accessing branches when they are actually open can be annoying. My nearest branch used to close early so there was no chance of getting there after work and if you dared venture in branch on a Saturday you would be greeted with long queues. I have just one word for that: nightmare! Online banking is definitely ... more

    INTRODUCTION Barclays.co.uk is obviously Barclays Bank's website. The majority of visitors will go there to look up information on products, find contact details, apply for products and to use the online banking service. The site has quite a lot of information on the home page but different types of products (Current accounts, Insurance, Loans, Savings, etc) and different user groups (i.e. Personal, Premier, Business, Commercial Banking) and divided into separate sections so you can filter down into what you're looking for. There are usually a number of banners and graphics advertising current ... more

    5 Stars Barclays online banking in comfort 20/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Do all your banking at home

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    My husband joined Barclays bank quite a few years ago just after he left school. That was just an ordinary current account until he started a computer course at college and then changed it over to a student account. About a year into college he needed some cash to help everyday cost of living and to run his car. So he started work with an agency in a food factory a month after me (That's where we both met) and then decided to leave his college course as he wasn't learning anything new. He then had to change the type of account he had as it was still classed as a student account which he was no ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages you have to wait for passcodes to come in post, you can't pay in money (obviously!!)

    I have been using Barclays Online Banking since it first began. Over the months they have regularly improved it so that it is easier to use and faster to get through security to get to your account details. Barclays Online banking is available to Barclays Business and/or Personal account holders. HOW TO REGISTER... It is easy to set up the online banking if you are already an account holder. When I first did it they gave you a disk but now you can do it from the website by clicking on the register option on the home page (If you are unsure there is a demonstration link for you to see what you ... more
