Reviews
A large Barclays branch with helpful staff even when close to closing time. Full facilities available.
Went in to use one of their coin machines and was told that, even though they advertise a 50 coin limit, I wasn't even allowed to put that amount in. What is the point of having a coin machine if you can;t use it? I was given coin bags and made to painstakingly count out my coppers and silvers in the middle of the bank. Not very professional.
I was disappointed to see, today, that Barclays had deployed a volunteer (his own word) veteran soldier (whose medals confirmed this) at the door of its Parliament Street, York branch, door. He was arguing with a member of Frack Free East Yorkshire, who was standing at the doorway to inform users of the bank about Barclay's funding of the fracking industry. I consider the volunteer was a danger to the health of customers and their children: he was continually smoking. When Barclays realises its error in heavily propping up this world-damaging industry and discontinues such funding, it must address the matter of the behaviour of volunteers at its branches.
I have tried to ring the number stated on your website 5 times now to arrange an appointment to discuss my card type. The first 3 times after spending a considerable time filling it my card details I was hung up on without speaking to a human being. The fourth time I was round robined to 7 different computer systems, all requiring me to type me details in, before finally being put back through to the original computer system, yet again not speaking to a human being. Eventually I was able to speak to a person by ringing the generalised barclays number who told me that your branch does not exist, despite me giving them the name, street and postcode provided. Finally I tried ringing the number provided on your Facebook page, which has been discontinued. PLEASE tell me how to speak to a human being as all I want is an appointment so I do not have to take time off work to come in to be told no one can see me.
It's a bank. Not very interesting. Nice building. Inside is mostly machines.
Very bad past expire here before. Ground floor was quiet, and we were stood by a table waiting for a member of staff to see us, to arrange opening a new account. One of the presumably managers made eye contact with us several times, before seeing two separate groups of people who came in after us.
Once she had finally spoken to the other groups of people, she came over to us, only to say "I won't be two minutes guys". At this point we left and very definitely won't be using this banking chain again.
