I like Barclays as they are always trying to protect you from fraud.and scams, they have stopped a transaction that they were not happy with and saved me thousands, also recently have given money back to my account that was taken by a scam company so would not change them, they might not have the best interests so I go elsewhere for most of my savings. Reviewed on: 24th March 2026

Best banking app

The app makes things stand out compared to other banks. Probably the best on the market currently. Does things right. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026
