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

Very best in-branch customer service and ease of use.

The staff at the Norwich branch are extremely helpful, I got an appointment on the day (no need to book an appointment and come back another day like other banks I visited when I opened this new account), this was the reason I decided to bank with them. I have no regret and the account I have works very well the payments are taken from my total even while they are in clearing, makings it easy to manage my account and not go overdrawn. The mobile app and online banking are easy to use. Dropped one star because on calling the customer service number the person I spoke to had trouble understanding me and I found it difficult to understand them. Shame such a large bank can't employ call centre staff in the UK to generate more jobs hear and make it easier to communicate to one another, I do take some responsibility and the agent was polite and professional, I just couldn't understand her and she didn't understand me fully.

Easy to use app
