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

Confidence, simplicity, safe

To have an mobile app which is not only easy to use but is pioneering makes you incredibly proud you bank with Barclays. You have lots of options now a days but why would I change my bank when mostly they dare to change and try things first. Banked with them personally for 40 years and I am not going anywhere Reviewed on: 9th December 2018

Barclays and Barclaycard

With the Barclays app all of my banking is in one place and so easy to access and use. On the odd occasion that I go into the bank it is a pleasure, the staff are friendly and attentive and the services are quick and simple. Reviewed on: 9th December 2018
