The overall rating of a review is different from a simple average of all individual ratings.
Advantages:
It is so easy to use Barclays Online Bank and it is very secure !
Disadvantages:
It takes it's security very serious, but a little too serious ! If you click twice instead of once in your account area you are logged off !
Busy running my business. Trying to fit in all the things I enjoy seems to be difficult!

The Barclays Online Bank is the biggest of it's type in the Uk and the best! You have access to absolutely everything you could need:- balance, transfers, payments, loans, direct debits, etc, etc. It is so easy to setup too, either apply online or just pop in to the bank and they will send you the set up package. If you have a business account you can swap funds between your normal online aqccount and your business account which makes life easier than having to go into the bank every tie you need to move money. You can even pay the balance on your Barclay Card this way. With the online services you also get to check out the latest in their loans and mortgages too which is good if you have a mortgage or laon with the Barclays. This service is truly fantastic and deserves fully to be the Uk number one!

agree HSBC (UK) is pretty primative, HSBC (HK) is superlative but the functionality is not available to UK users these could filter to the HSBC UK accounts. But Barclays it seem is ahead of the pack, though NatWest isn't bad I believe, as it synchronises with accounts programs. Nobodies done it yet but surely it isn't that difficult to synchronise the online data from your bank, credit card, mortgage etc to provide you with a 'balance sheet'. Egg have something vague on those lines, lets see who develops...

I have never used Barclays online service but the one provided by HSBC is pretty bad. It is slow, hard to navigate and seems like an after thought...
Advantages: Easy to set-up, easy to use, security like fort knox Disadvantages: you have to wait for passcodes to come in post, you can't pay in money (obviously!!)
