barclaysbplc.com has been flagged by AMF (France) for "Unauthorised". Category: Crypto-actifs|Usurpation This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm. Website domain: barclaysbplc.com.
The only good thing about barclaysbplc.com is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them after attending a webinar they hosted. They are regulated in a jurisdiction with weak consumer protection. When things went wrong I had nowhere to turn. Stick to well-regulated brokers.
Pros: Professional team|Excellent charting|Quick verification
Cons: Research section could be deeper|Wish they had more educational resources
The mobile app from barclaysbplc.com is dangerous. I placed an order that showed as pending, so I placed another. Both executed and I was overexposed. When I complained they said it was user error. The app design is misleading.
Pros: Social trading features|Easy to use platform|Multiple order types|Fast deposits
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower
I had a dispute with barclaysbplc.com and went to their complaints process. They have an internal team that just defends the company. Then they said I could go to an ombudsman - but the ombudsman they use is industry-funded and rarely rules for the client. The system is rigged.
Pros: Customizable dashboard|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Live chat only during business hours|Nothing significant
I am in a dispute with barclaysbplc.com over a trade that was clearly erroneous. The price shown was wrong, I closed at a profit, and they reversed the trade and took the money back. They said it was a system error. So I lose and they keep? Unacceptable.
Pros: Easy withdrawals|Excellent charting
Cons: Limited ETF selection|Currency conversion fee exists
barclaysbplc.com had an outage that lasted several hours during a major market event. Not only did they fail to prevent it, but they also failed to communicate what was happening. We were left in the dark while our investments were at risk.
Pros: Demo account available|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower|Would like more payment methods
Opened my account with barclaysbplc.com after attending a webinar they hosted and regretted it within the first month. The platform crashed during a critical moment, I lost potential gains, and support basically told me it was not their problem. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.
Pros: Transparent fees|Segregated accounts|Regular platform improvements|Educational resources
Cons: Limited ETF selection|No live chat on mobile
barclaysbplc.com changed their fee structure with one month notice. What was a flat fee became a percentage. For my account size it meant a huge increase. When I objected they said I could leave. So I am leaving and writing this review.
Pros: Professional team|Segregated accounts
Cons: Search feature is basic|Limited ETF selection
I signed up with barclaysbplc.com after reading several online reviews and the first red flag was the aggressive account manager who would not stop calling. After depositing, the promised support vanished. Withdrawals are delayed with endless excuses. I have reported them to the regulator.
Pros: Fast support response|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: No phone support on weekends
barclaysbplc.com locked my account without warning and demanded documents I had already submitted. since mid-2025 later I still do not have access to my funds. Their compliance team does not respond to emails. I am considering legal action.
Pros: Competitive fees|Multiple order types
Cons: Minor UI glitches occasionally|Nothing significant
Do not be fooled by the professional-looking website. Behind the scenes, barclaysbplc.com is disorganized and incompetent. I found them after a family member had a good experience and I can only assume the positive reviews are either outdated or paid for because my experience was terrible.
Pros: Great customer service|Automated trading options|Personal attention|Good analytical tools
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed
