Complaints

How to give feedback or raise a complaint

We want to hear from you if you feel unhappy with the service you've received from us. Letting us know your concerns gives us the opportunity to put matters right for you and improve our service to all our clients. You can contact us in person, in writing, by email or by telephone. Alternatively, you can also contact your Private Banker in person or via their direct contact details.

When you contact us please make sure you give us the following information:

  • Your name, address and account details
  • A clear description of your concern or complaint
  • Details of what you would like us to do to resolve the complaint
  • Copies of any relevant documents/information
  • A daytime telephone number and any times during which we can contact you

We will try to resolve your complaint as quickly as possible. The first step is for us to be clear about the nature of your complaint, and to identify what we can do to resolve the issue. The more information you can provide us the better.

We will confirm who will handle your complaint and give you details of how to contact them. Please note, this may not be the person to whom you originally made your complaint. We will also provide you with a unique reference number.

We aim to resolve your complaint within four weeks. However, if we are unable to do this we will send you a written update to let you know when we expect to reply. If we have been unable to complete our investigations within eight weeks, we will write to you again to explain why there is a delay. When we have finished our investigations into your complaint we will be in touch to provide you with a full response.

If we do not resolve your complaint internally to your satisfaction, you may be able to refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service in the United Kingdom, or the equivalent service for complaints which originate from jurisdictions outside of the United Kingdom.

Additional support

We are committed to helping our clients and understand that at times, you may require additional support. If needed, we can provide communications in braille, large print or audio. Please let us know when you make a complaint if you would like to discuss your circumstances.  

You can also let us know what additional support you require if you are not making a complaint by contacting your usual Barclays contact or via the telephone and contact details on this website.

Online dispute resolution

Under the EU (Online Dispute Resolution for Consumer Disputes) Regulations 2015, traders such as Barclays Bank Ireland PLC who sell services online are obliged to inform consumers of a EU wide online dispute resolution platform for consumers who wish to resolve out of court disputes which have arisen online.

The ODR Regulation

The European Commission has established an online dispute resolution platform (ODR platform). This is specifically designed to help customers resident in the European Union who have bought goods or services online from traders established in the European Union but were unable to get their complaint resolved to their satisfaction.

You can submit your complaint online through the ODR platform in any of the official languages of the European Union. The platform will then send your complaint to the dispute resolution body that will handle your dispute for an independent review within 90 days.

You can access the platform by visiting the ODR website.

As a Barclays customer, you may use this service if you are still resident in the EU and purchased your product or service with us online.

You will need:
Our name: Barclays
Our email: ODR@barclays.com
