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

Best bank account I have had in years.

I’ve had other bank accounts with their apps but Barclays in by far the easiest and simple to use. Santander, HSBC, NatWest, Lloyds all fall short in the userbility. It was so easy to open an account and start paying in regularly as well as transfer payments and best of all I can see other bank accounts on the app too from my Santander saver and bank account !! Bloody marvellous so useful hassle free easy to use and I’m in my 40’s and find new tech difficult but this was so easy I love my Barclays account and app. Reviewed on: 9th December 2018

Easy, convenient and reliable

Easy, convenient and reliable, the Barclays app allows you to be independent and mobile at the same time, wether you transfer cash, freeze your card or check your balance, this App does it for you. Reviewed on: 9th December 2018
