Review of the Barclays, Current Account:

Trustworthy and great customer service

4
I have had an account with Barclays for a long time due to their highly dependable and helpful customer service. Their security is very good and have flagged unusual transactions in the past to check they were authentic. Only improvement would be an easier to use app with more features and money management tools Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Switched for nothing

2
I switched to Barclays purely to get the switch bonus - they took so long to authorise/process the whole thing that I never got the bonus reward. It also meant that I had no access to the account for well over a week which had some of money in it. This is the one and only time I have used a switch service and had any issues. Direct debits weren't transferred properly and had to be reset-up. The whole thing was a waste of time. I switched back as soon as I could Reviewed on: 26th February 2025
