Barclays Chat šŸ¦…

I honestly have no idea. Every other bank is a normal account, even new account openings.

I have a Ā£5k Barclaycard with them so they can’t deem me that risky :face_in_clouds:

I do have a complaint with them at the moment about it all so will see if anything comes from that.

Apart from the switching bonuses why did you open an account with Barclays? Can’t see they’d tick your boxes.

Curious to see how long before their app finally gets a well loved update. I have nationwide for the same reason.

That’s twice as much as Monzo got fined.

I wonder if it’ll hit twice as many news outlets/socials as the Monzo story did?
Probably not.

Sensationalism applied to Barclays is :yawning_face:
Sensationalism applied to Monzo is :money_bag: (clickbait)

Barclays is a much bigger bank; they can afford it more than Monzo can, so the fine isn’t as newsworthy.

The underdog gets kicked in the social :volleyball:'s once more while the top-dogs continue as-are, despite proportionally larger penalties?

An undercurrent of reporting is clearly frightened of this under :dog:

Has the Barclays website changed?
I remember it all used to be very dark blue now it seems to all have a white background.

Still dark here

Ahh I’ve figured it out.
It’s down to the mode the device is on.
My desktop was on light mode lol

Off topic but that white gradient at the bottom in the new Safari looks crap. Really not a fan of the redesign from what I’ve seen so far

It only does it sometimes. It’s a bit of a mess with safari; even using the forum here it iz hit and miss to whether the type box loads properly.

@AlanDoe I can’t type it’s and hit together cuz it thinks I’m writing :poop: haha

The Barclays app is absolutely woeful. Only got an account for the switch offer, will be very excited to leave after I get the money. Didn’t know it was possible to make a worse app than the Co-op!

The Barclays app has its quirks, like any app, but it’s fine once you’ve found your way round it. I’ve used Co-op Bank too, and I’d choose Barclays over the Co-op any day.

I’ve banked with Barclays for a fair amount of time.

I still to this day am unable to find / reach the Manage Payments / Standing Orders page without bumbling around the app for ages first.

It has its quirks and overall it works but this one thing makes me feel like an imbecile every single time.

I don’t know why you’re finding it so hard. When the app opens, click on ā€œPay & transferā€ on the bottom line, and then ā€œScheduled paymentsā€ at the top. This shows all your direct debits, standing orders, and recurring cards payments. If you only want to see the standing orders, just click on the standing orders tab at the top.

It’s dead easy.

Perhaps because it’s all changed since I last used it…?


Was there always a limit to cash deposits with Barclays ?

Dose it really matter how often will you need to put 10k into the post office in cash
