Mobile Banking? Good luck with that

Signed up and was approved for a balance transfer card, all good. That arrived, I've got that and the pin for said card. All good.

I set up the app because - like many people nowadays, mobile banking is my only option.

And this is where the issues began. It took three seperate attempts to set up the app - partly because it's unclear if the app is the 'Barclaycard' app or 'Barclays' - both have worked with my card to sign in.

But after a few days, neither will allow me to access balance transfers. Which was the primary purpose of the card.

Their support is only "call us" which like, great. I'm hard of hearing. Calls are not an option for me. And as is always the case, they'll respond saying "contact us" but the only option is a call.

Which doesn't work for me.

Their website says there are no issues but I see a lot of people saying otherwise about the mobile app, and I have to say I agree with the countless people running into the same error - DL001.

Barclaycard provide banking and credit…

Barclaycard provide banking and credit card services to MBR Acres- a company that breed 2000 beagle puppies each year for animal testing. These dogs are bred in squalid conditions and then shipped off to laboratories when they are still puppies to be forced to breathe in chemicals via face masks or have chemicals pumped in to their stomachs through tubes that are forced down their throats. I am absolutely horrified that Barclaycard would work for and support such a despicable company and clearly have no morals or ethics

Very quick to say if application for credit card would be accepted. A little delayed receiving card but digital card was available quicker. Support staff helpful and efficient.
