Credit card delivery is awfully slow

Credit card delivery is awfully slow. They don't use first class post. There is no way to email Barclays. They just don't have an email address for customers. None whatsoever. You have to go through a very clunky app.... Which barely works or a telephone system that is incredibly frustrating with a million questions to answer. Eg... Your date of birth and then how old will you be next birthday. Your full mobile tel number and then what's the last 3 digits of your mobile number. List is endless. Best one yet. So you didn't receive your credit card.... Have you set up any recurring payments. Lol.

I have to insert my card details every time I make a payment. Didn't use to be like that. Sometimes doesn't go through, especially when I am clearing the balance. So annoying and outdated App.

Absolute crap for a service

Absolute crap for a service. The card doesnt work abroad, cant rely on it. the app doesnt work when you try to make a payment to them. App shuts down as soon as you go to other bank app to approve the pyment. The website doesnt recognise my card number. The phone automated assistant keeps looping. You guys just shut the bank, please. You are not made for this.

Barclays, best option

I’ve had an account with Barclays for over 20 years and have been watching the changes—seeing how the bank is evolving in a very positive direction.
