Barclays Cash ISA reviews (82)

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.

5
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

aweful banking

3
would not recommend Barclays bank, because i put a cheque into my account and they cleared it within 6 weeks and then they tried to take the money back saying my cheque was not legitimate. when i know different. they had 6 weeks to clear, why clear it and then say its false......this bank is aweful.

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

great range of products and excellent customer service

5
Barclays customer service is excellent and they have resolved issues promptly and professionally. They offer a range of products and take appropriate security measures to protect their customers with transactions. I would definitely recommend Barclays. Reviewed on: 11th September 2016

Great but sometimes problematic

4
Its pretty great but they really need to improve the quality of their staff Reviewed on: 9th September 2016

Difficult to change account services

2
I have a savings account with Barclays and I wanted an ISA with Barclays and I wanted to transfer all the money from the savings to the ISA. I was told this would be straight forward however the process took longer than anticipated because of errors at the Barclays end. Firstly they made a mistake in the type of ISA I wanted, and then made a mistake by transfering it all into that ISA. Would not recommend switching to Barclays services.
