Barclays Current account reviews (4953)

24/7 access with the fantastic mobile banking app

Find it so quick and easy to keep control of my finances using the Barclays mobile banking app. Means I can do everything i want 24/7 without the need to have a branch nearby or open. keeping on top of my finances but also knowing I can call the bank direct or report my card lost/stolen immediately gives me piece of mind. loving the new features such as merchant control Reviewed on: 11th January 2019

Love my mobile banking app!

Best bank ever, always there for me when I need help, great app experience, so easy to use, bank in my pocket!! Reviewed on: 11th January 2019

Smart branches

Branches look very smart and people are helpful although some processes seem very disjointed and people don’t seem to communicate internally Reviewed on: 11th January 2019

Best Banking App out there

Their app is fantastic. cant remember an occasion when i couldnt acheive what i wanted to, within the app. I have limited options on the apps for other banks - but no such constraints with Barclays. Thank you Barclays! Reviewed on: 11th January 2019

Barclays are great!

Love this company - been with them for years and will never bank with anyone else. Staff are helpful and the tech is always cutting edge. I always recommend Barclays to my friends and family when they ask about financial services. Reviewed on: 11th January 2019

Could do better

I like the fact that I can log in to the app on my phone when I want to sort our my finances and since downloading Pingit when the account isn't working I can login through Pingit to check the account balance. Quite a few times the app doesn't work - this is the grumble I have with Barclays and they charge high interest rates for their overdraft facilities and customer services are not always that great. I also like the fact I can increase my overdraft facility just by tapping a few buttons on the app. I've had a Barclays account for many years and in the main I'm satisfied with them -my experience would be improved if they could sort these things out.
