Review of the Barclays, Current Account:

I like Barclays

I like barclays, many years never had problem Reviewed on: 28th May 2024

Terrible call centres, poor product selling points

Was with Barclays for 15 years from a child to my first job. As an adult, I realised there was no benefit to being with them. Later when I had to have a mortgage with them, I opened a bank account. Their systems couldn't handle me having both a mortgage and a bank account with them, so my mortgage disappeared and couldn't be interacted with. Calling them was a nightmare, hard to get through, difficult to understand the agents, and they couldn't fix the problem. In store they worked directly with Barlcays IT department, but still couldn't fix the issue. In the end they set me up with a completely new profile. After a few years the new account wasn't giving me any benefits, so I closed the account... this then wiped my mortgage from the account again! I told them directly to set me up with a new profile as that had worked in the pass, so at least this time around the issue was fixed quicker. In general, they're also he worse bank for ethics and fossil fuels, so even as a basic single bank account, there's still issues. They are the only bank I will actively warn people to avoid.

Bank? What bank??

They've closed almost every branch and have removed the cash bonus on the blue rewards . When you try and do any in person banking you have to find a "pop-up" and 9 times out of 10 you just get told to go and do it online Reviewed on: 31st August 2024

Banking needs reform,

Banking needs reform, many banks are going online and ditching bricks and mortar access. I say let the over paid managers be replaced with software too. Reviewed on: 25th August 2024

Decent enough bank

I've been with them a long time and have found my account easy to use & access whenever I need to. There are no benefits along with my account though as well as no overdraft which makes it difficult to beat other account providers Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Great products

Been a customer for 17 years and they have recently closed my local branch without informing me. I had a problem with the online banking app so phoned customer services. The person only liked the sound of own voice and didn’t really listen to what I had to say. I in particular don’t like that I couldn’t go to my branch to sort out this issue! It’s utterly disgusting!! Reviewed on: 14th August 2024
