Review of the Barclays, Cash ISA:

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.

They're ok

They always give me grief when paying in cheques because the only id I carry is a provisional driving licence registered in a different address to where I live now. not everyone feels safe carrying their passport everywhere with them and I find the way they talk to me rude. They have no customer service skills. Reviewed on: 30th August 2016

Products are ok - service can let the bank down

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

Completely Stress free, shame interest rate was lower than other building society's

4
Interest rate I was offered was lower than another building society elsewhere however they were helpful in swapping money to my other account. Great Service, would recommend to friends and family Reviewed on: 28th April 2015

Quick and Easy

I opened up a new Cash ISA. I did not have time to go to the bank so went on online, logged on as usual. Using the relevant pages I was able to look into the cash ISAs Barclays offer and then had the ability to open the account online. All done in minutes and I could see it in my account details. I got a letter a few days later with the terms and conditions. very easy and quick. Reviewed on: 24th April 2015
