Barclays Business current account reviews (237)

Easy access and great customer service

Having been self employed for a number of years I decided to open up a business banking account. Having researched the market I eventually went with Barclays who offered easy access both online and in-branch. Overall I've been fairly satisfied with my experience - I was particularly impressed with the level of customer service in-branch where they are keen to sort things out as quick as possible.

Barclays business banking - highly recommend

Since launching our business in June 2013 we have used Barclays business banking. The package we signed up to includes BusinessWorks - a suite of information and facilities to utilise, including Sage, which have helped our start-up grow. The support we have received from both our business advisor and via the hotline has been great and we are very happy to continue working with Barclays as our businesses expands.

Decent service unless you need the personal touch!

The Barclays Business Banking Provision for Small Companies is okay on a day-to-day level. Their online facilities and SmartPhone APP are excellent, but if I need to contact my personal relationship manager it's terrible. I have his direct email, but he takes a long-time to answer and is not interested in helping beyond the standard requests I could satisfy myself via the online service. If you are looking for a simple product that's largely managed online this is a good account for you. If you want a more personal, human touch look elsewhere. Reviewed on: 12th January 2016

Great Customer Service

I needed to add my Business Accounts to my Barclays Mobile Banking APP. Great service, the changes were all made in under five minutes. No long periods on hold! Great! Perhaps, some of the telephone business banking staff should be transferred to the premier banking telephone team - when I phoned them about a similar issue they were poor! Reviewed on: 6th October 2015

Great local banking

I've been lucky enough to have a personal relationship manager throughout my time with Barclays. He always tries to be helpful and actually demonstrates a real interest in what we do, so I highly recommend Barclays for personal business banking. Reviewed on: 25th June 2015

Mistakes opening my account, and not interested in helping me develop my business

Really awful. Mistakes, potentially (because of my personal circumstances) putting me in actual physical danger, as (entirely unknown to me) they used the wrong details, the wrong address from a long closed account. I ended up getting compensation (though no proper apology) - this is just 4 weeks after I opened the account. What a start. Then no interest in helping me to get some cashflow finance sorted - my Business Manager was dismissive and I got no support at all. And counter staff unhelpful and surly when I tried to change some money. Website seems ok, but on a personal basis, terrible. I will be looking elsewhere once I have summoned up the courage to actually try and close the account. Reviewed on: 12th March 2015

Attuned to mine and my businesses needs

I run a small business and have been pleasantly surprised by Barclays. The process of opening an account is relatively painless and so far the account has served the business very well. Reviewed on: 5th March 2015

An honest approach

I have used a number of banks for my businesses over my lifetime - including all the main banks. I have found Barclays approach to be the most straightforward and really honest too. Not everything goes smoothly 100% of the time, but good communication and a can do attitude really help! Reviewed on: 23rd February 2015

Allways been straight with me.

Whilst I'm not 100% happy with all their charges, I have to say that they are the only bank that I've ever dealt with that have been 100% straight with me over charges etc. Reviewed on: 18th January 2015
