Review of the Barclays, Current Account:

Loyal and trustworthy

Barclays are a great company to have an account with! They put their customers first and offer a whole range of other services. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2019

poor and getting worse

Been with Barclays for 40 years but finally had enough of poor service, poor rates and poor customer support. Branches have shut, savings rates dire and overall for a bank raking in billions it needs to up its game. I finally gave up for one of the very many better banks out there now. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Reliable current account provider with very good customer experience

Not interested

Lost my company, earnings and went bankrupt last year due to covid. Try getting some help from Barclays but none came. Been with them for over 20 years and didn't have the decency to return my calls Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

Good but has room for improvement

Having been with Barclays for roughly 7 years, I've had a fair few issues between rejected payments and somewhat ineffective customer service, but as a bank account for general use it's not bad at all. The app and online banking are easy and intuitive. Staff are kind and helpful in person. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Unreliable

My partner has been with this bank for many years and has always had issues with the banking app. He is unable to even access his accounts on a weekly basis making it difficult to pay bills on time. I would not reccomend this bank to anyone who relies on mobile banking apps to manage their finances. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Can't use on google pay

The account works like any other Current Account but you can't link it to Google Pay which is very inconvenient in this day and age. I had to open a Revolut account and link them just so that I can use Google Pay Reviewed on: 30th March 2023

Good app and good saver

Good app and competitive saver for rewards Reviewed on: 30th March 2023

Rainy Day Saver

Fantastic interest rate for a current account Reviewed on: 30th March 2023

Best Bank

Has the best savings account on the market (5% up to £5000) , amazing support and great perks. Reviewed on: 30th March 2023

the app needs work

offers great rates, but the app is not functional. Reviewed on: 30th March 2023
