Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Easy to open an account

I was a UK resident but not citizen recently arrived in the UK. I went to several banks to open an account but found them uninterested and unhelpful, except Barclays. Several years later I am still with them. Reviewed on: 15th February 2016

Best Bank Ever

I moved to Barclays from another high street bank and wish I’d made the decision years before!!! Simple and trouble free switching service. The customer service whether in branch or over the phone is second to none. Well done Barclays!!!! Reviewed on: 14th January 2019

Intuitive, Familiar and Secure Banking and Saving.

It offers many services, many of which are intuitive in their process to ensure quick and secure payment transactions, savings and discounts with their loyalty system. Offers concise advise in everyday banking and planning ahead. Security is of paramount which the over-excessive security protocols are outweighs by the confidence of a reliable and financial backup system. Reviewed on: 14th January 2019
