Phone banking customer numbers have grown 100 percent so far this year, according to the firm.
An innovative facility to allow customers to check their current accounts on the move has been launched by a major high street bank.
Barclays said today that it has adapted its personal banking sites to make information properly viewable on a smartphone browser. This makes it possible for customers to check their accounts more easily on their mobile phones.
The current account sector has changed over recent years with advances in mobile internet technology. Rather than being forced to use their desktop or laptop - or go to a branch - to make transactions or find out their balance, bank customers have become able to use their mobile phones instead.
However, Barclays claims to be the only bank in the UK to have designed its web pages especially for mobile phone use. The announcement comes as the bank releases figures showing that mobile phone browser numbers from customers have grown by 100 percent so far this year.
Sean Gilchrist, Barclays Digital Banking director, added: "With this increased consumer demand it's important for Barclays to continually build on the strategy of improving the services for mobile banking customers.
"Perhaps with customers finding banking through low or high end mobile phones so much easier with the redesigned site we will see this way of banking catching up with online services as network speeds improve and data costs reduce."
