Review of the Barclays, Cash ISA:

Barclays customer service is the best

every time i call up they are all ways available to solve my problem Reviewed on: 17th December 2016

Easy to manage

Great useful features in the app Reviewed on: 4th February 2023

Great ISA rate

The best ISA rate for a while, beats all the other competitors. Took some time in branch to open the account but great customer service received during this visit. So glad to be back with the better rates after years of next to nothing! Reviewed on: 11th January 2023

Cash ISA paying 4%

I'm not a Barclay's customer so called at my local branch to open a Cash ISA account personally, On-line option not available to me. "We don't keep ISA application forms in branch. As you are not an existing customer you will have to arrange an appointment with one of our Financial Advisors". It would appear that the 4% ISA is just to gain 'free publicity' for Barclays as they aren't looking to take on new ISA customers without jumping through some time consuming hoops. Reviewed on: 22nd December 2022

Not worth it

I have been trying for over 6 months to get my money back from my dormant cash isa account and have received every excuse whilst this is still ongoing.. absolute joke! Avoid! Reviewed on: 31st August 2022

Ihaver been a Barclays Bank customer since 1958 Reviewed on: 17th September 2021

Monthly paid interest

It’s perfect in paying interest every first of the month. It just need to increase the rates and become the best Reviewed on: 25th March 2021

Good customer support but poor on ethics and investments drag it all down

Barclays offers very low-interest rates on all its accounts despite high profits. They have a quick and good smartphone app which is a good thing but it's what you'd expect. The most pressing issue for me is their climate pledge and investment in fossil fuels. I don't like the fact that my money is with an unethical company that in a way greenwashes its actions with public relations stunts. I never had any issues with the bank but the low ambition and lack of ethical products along with their investment record were sufficient for me to begin moving my money. It's sad but if we don't force banks to re-think and change, they will do very little. Reviewed on: 4th March 2021
