Very competitive rate. Very competitive rate. Opened whilst it was a high rate and then was able to add to it at a later date with their flexibility scheme Reviewed on: 4th June 2024

Review of the Barclays, Cash ISA:

Products are ok - service can let the bank down

3
I found the Barclays website east to use to enable me to look at the different Cash ISA's that were available. I then went into branch to speak to a personal banker. In my opinion the process was carried out too hastily and key points (which I only knew about because I had researched online first) such as whether or not interest would be received at the end of the term, yearly or monthly were not raised by the personal banker. Although I would open an ISA with Barclays again, I would only do so after researching the product beforehand. Reviewed on: 26th August 2015

Safe but pointless

3
I've taken a cash ISA with barclays. I opted for the safe option, and basically that means it's a safe option but it's basically pointless and it's such immensely low interest. Reviewed on: 10th June 2017

Good

Like the ISA save to buy a home very good thing to do Reviewed on: 8th June 2017

Easy to deal with

The saving rate isn't great but I can use my ISA allowance and easily transfer money from my banking account Reviewed on: 6th March 2017

Not the best return for your money

3
Years ago I opened an online ISA. There were and still are problems for me accessing the account. The interest was good first year but has gone down considerably. This money would be better spent. Reviewed on: 12th February 2017

Professional competitive service.

I opened a 2 year flexible cash ISA with Barclays. It was simple to do and was organised speedily. Basically the interest is paid at the end of term and the minimum balance is £0.00 so you don't even need cash to open the account, although I would recommend putting in at least £5.00 to start. The maximum number of withdrawals allowed during the term is 3. I would recommend this savings account to anyone looking to save. Reviewed on: 7th January 2017
