App summary

The Barclays app

HOW TO REGISTER
If you’re 16 or over and you have a UK-registered mobile number and a UK Barclays current account or Barclaycard, you can register for the app. You’ll need the 16 digit number off your card, then follow the onscreen instructions. Some customers may be required to verify their identity with PINsentry or at a Barclays cash machine.

If you’ve got an activation code, follow the onscreen steps to register (you won’t need PINsentry for this).

After you’re set up, you’ll only need your 5-digit passcode to log in. Then you can set up Android Fingerprint to log in faster in future.

This app doesn’t work on rooted devices.

User reviews
The main problem with this app (although there are a few) is that it deletes payees from the list on the account - without even notifying the customer, let alone asking for permission to do so. Barclays have actually admitted to me that it's an I.T. issue at their end, but they appear to have done nothing to resolve the problem. Therefore, I've withdrawn my funds and I'm about to delete the app. Contrary to Barclays reply here, payees are often removed well BEFORE the thirteen month 'limit'.

Struggled with the new design for pay or transfer section. In fact, I couldn't pay the person. I had to pay her mother and ask her to forward the money!! Before the new design, the names that I often pay used to appear, and I just had to click on the desired name. Now, only four names come up. !!

The App has been updated and now I can't find previous payees or add new ones so I am now unable to transfer money. When I called the helpline I was told payee details are only kept for a year then deleted. This is nonsense as I have had some for many years and two of them were less than 3 months old. I was told there might be a glitch on the App. I rang again and a recorded message said that for transfers you have to re-enter the payee details, but I can't because that option is not available
