I have had 2 letters recently explaining I've been listed for on line banking. Each time I've been into EB branch to request that this listing be removed, that I will NEVER do on line banking, end of story. My choice after all. 2 weeks ago, after my 1st letter, the lady accepted my CHOICE and Informed me that she had removed my listing. Evidently not, as I got the next letter and 2 messages. So I visited EB branch again today. Initially I spoke with Gary (I'm sure that's his name) I've long seen Gary in our local branch. A very affable, friendly chap who is always very professional. He is a great ambassador for Barclays Bank. Gary agreed, it is fine, I did not want to do on line banking, he agreed it was my choice. That I should wait to speak to the 'personal banker' which I did. Meanwhile along came a shortish lady, she asked if she could help, I explained, she proceceeded to BULLY Me! She was adamant that I may 'not have a choice in the near future', I explained I would then take my business to The Nationwide, where I have savings, that I will not be bullied into doing on line banking. She told me that I had 'interrupted her 3 times' I just kept saying that I was NOT going to do on line banking, because it's my choice. If the worst comes to the worst, I will keep my money under my mattress!I eventually spoke to the Personal Banker and she was very kind, informative and helpful.Meanwhile, the couple in the queue behind me, were also astounded at the little lady's attitude towards me.She really must try to curb her temper whilst dealing with elderly customers who know their own minds.I've banked at Barclays long before it was Barclays but was The Woolwich. I have never been treated so badly and in front of other customers. Today is the 8th March, I was in branch about 12MD. You will know which staff were on duty. I will not be bullied or treated like this again. I know there is no such thing as customer loyalty now by banks but I will take my business elsewhere if she or anybody is so intimidating towards me.Thank goodness it is the FIRST EVER occasion this has occurred to me in Barclays in Terminus Road.Julie AkersEastbourne

Izzy has always provided professional and polite service ..she is a credit to Barclays and should be considered for promotion...I see her in a marketing role.

Charlotte at Eastbourne branch didn't just go the extra mile to help me deposit a cheque, she went an extra five miles. Superb service

The waiting time to speak to someone is FAR too long. I was with my 80+ year old father and we were left standing in a very slow-moving queue for much longer than an old man should be made to stand. Even I began to struggle.When we were eventually seen, the assistant was friendly and helpful.

Totally incompetent, cannot even open an ISA. I have a complaint pending since 11th March 2023 when my ISA should have opened. Still not open on 27th April 2023 . Not interested in loyal members of over 45 years. Metro bank do everything while you are there and their customer service is excellent. Absolutely terrible service from Barclays now.

I wasn?t sure how to leave a review after a phone call to a staff from Barclays but he mentioned he?s in the Eastbourne branch. I spoke to Gary just now, his service was brilliant. He was so friendly and helped me to the best of his ability. I could really tell he was trying his best and he put in a lot of effort to help me. Thank you Gary!

It's ok, bit understaffed, but no different to any other bank in that respect.

Really NOT HAPPY with the way in which this bank is now being run, no counter service no customer service anymore and forced to use machines when we don't want to!Not efficiently run, and poor management, basically they just don't care. Very glad I do not have my current account here.

It?s difficult having to queue for one cashier ( unable to do my transaction on the machine) But there is a petite long blonde haired young lady who was abrupt and loud when asking what I needed . Later she spoke to the lady behind me in a very rude condescending manner ( still loud ) with a ?if you don?t like it then go elsewhere ?attitude . Zero customer skills , she needs a behind the scenes role
