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

Banking with Barclays is the easiest thing I've ever done. Unlike the last bank I was with Barclays have made it easy for me to access my money when I need it, regardless of when that is. Using the website is the easiest thing I've ever done and feels secure thanks to the pin sentry. Cannot recommend enough. Reviewed on: 12th December 2018
