Easy to open an account

Barclays bank starting out in the UK

4
Barclays was relatively easy to open an account with once I moved to the UK. Their staff are extremely helpful and very polite. Their product offering I feel is aimed at individuals of high net worth which does make me feel, sometimes, overlooked but I take it as an incentive to work harder to achieve this higher status in the bank Reviewed on: 6th January 2019

I’m a life long customer of Barclays. Reviewed on: 6th January 2019
