I've always had my current account with Barclays and always been very happy with it. I use the app on a daily basis, and find it easy to use with good functionality. If I've had to seek help for anything, I've always managed to get things resolved. Reviewed on: 15th March 2024

The app is missing some fundamental features for example I have a loan but the only way I can add, edit, or amend for example the direct debit details is to call them… what’s the point of having this in the app if I can manage it through the app. Reviewed on: 12th March 2024
