Review of the Barclays, Cash ISA:

Good customer service and conditions with the ISA

Opened a new ISA this year with Barclays, wasn't sure which product was right for me but got good advice and went with ISA. easy to use online too which is great for me. Reviewed on: 20th June 2016

Good Rates, But a Bit Old-School

3
Barclays’ Cash ISA offers solid interest rates, which is definitely a plus. However, the whole setup feels a bit outdated. The rules around deposits, withdrawals, and how the ISA works in general aren’t the most intuitive — you really need to read the fine print to avoid surprises. It’s a good product if you’re looking for a safe savings option, but be prepared to deal with a more traditional and somewhat rigid system. Reviewed on: 11th April 2025

Avoid at all costs

Appalling. Every time I have to deal with Barclays it is painful. I am now trying to transfer my cash ISA out and their 'intentional incompetence' is making it VERY difficult to get my money out. Reviewed on: 11th February 2024
