Review of the Barclays, Cash ISA:

Leave your savings alone

Their long withdraw and transferring time makes you want to just leave your money in the savings account. No monthly fee makes it perfect for letting the money accumulate and not be spent on your account fees. Reviewed on: 30th August 2016

Great ISA rate

5
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%

1
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. ...

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

2
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 al... Reviewed on: 4th March 2021
