Barclays Bank

Barclays Bank offers a range of account options tailored to different needs, from basic accounts to premium packages. Their digital banking platform is user-friendly, providing convenient access to manage finances anytime, anywhere. However, like any bank, they have their strengths and weaknesses, so it's essential to carefully consider their fees, interest rates, and customer service quality before choosing an account.

Barclays is investing its customers money in fossil fuels, even though renewables are now cheaper. They are gambling on the future, against the advice of the UN, the WHO and the IEA, and profiting off our children's future suffering. I've closed my account. Reviewed on: 4th April 2024
