Barclays

Stay away… stay far far away… I deposited checks… they didn’t even send them out for a month… it took two months for them to get me a card and clear my funds… I switched to NatWest and they got me a card in 7 business days. Honestly they just kept losing things and they’d «check on the status» and act surprised when they re-​realized that they screwed up… so one worker told me to check on my account balance online to see when my checks were cleared because it was taking weeks and everytime I went in, they’d say, oh it’ll be there in 3 – 5 more days (it never was) but I needed a card to create an online account, but they wouldn’t send me a card until my checks cleared, but they kept telling me to go online instead of going in to see if they cleared but I couldn’t do that until they would give me a card, and they were like, «well, why would you want a card if you don’t have money» and I snapped…
They lost checks of a friend of mine and hers were delayed months longer than mine were.
Useless… .I’d rather keep my money under my mattress than go to this branch ever again.
