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

Everything always works. Barclays has been in 2019 for years!

I have banked with Barclays since 2010. At the time it was the only Bank to openly offer a basic bank account for people with credit problems. Many years have passed and I have had accounts with other banks but they have been closed due to many different failings. The app has gone from great to amazing. It has had features for years that many other bank apps have just introduced. The security is top-notch and everything just works. It saw the future before it arrived and has been working ahead of the game since. Issues are dealt with quickly, although there haven't been many, and overall everything has and continues to be perfect. No matter how much money is thrown at me by other banks to switch and, as long as Barclays continues the great work (I have no doubts things will change), they will have my custom for years to come. Reviewed on: 10th January 2019
