Barclays Current account reviews (4920)

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

Trustworthy

I have been to several different banks and I just didn't feel comfortable with them and felt confused with everything that did. When I was recommended to use Barclays i was unsure with previous experience with other banks. So I tried it hoping for something better and simplistic and knowing my info and money is safe. Well I have been with Barclays for years now and it's a fantastic bank I couldn't give it a higher recommendation. I won't be changing banks that's for sure. Reviewed on: 26th December 2018

Average bank

Overall I am pleased with this bank. It is my first one since I came to the UK and I think I will stick with it for a while. It would be great if they had a good mobile application, which at the moment is atrociously bad. Reviewed on: 26th December 2018

So easy to use , no going out to the bank, to get or send money, do it from your armchair, great app recommend to family & friend's Reviewed on: 26th December 2018

Amazing

Very good am very happy with Barclays Reviewed on: 26th December 2018

People focused

Barclays is a very people focused bank, unlike some of it’s competitors; their app confirms this with it’s user friendly interface and variety of support options. I decided to create a bank account with Barclays due to a friend’s recommendation, and they have certainly delivered. I have never had an issue left unresolved. I think a really important part of what makes Barclays special and stand out is that they are LGBTQ+ friendly. It’s definitely a more progressive bank, and I doubt I’ll ever leave them.
