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

Great Bank, great mobile app, and helpfull staff

There is sufficient high street branches about to almost guarantee you will have one locally should you need, or indeed prefer to talk face to face. The banking app is great, allows you to pay via mobile, as well as access many features. For example, there is a section that allows you to apply for a Barclaycard (Barclays Credit Card), and it gives you a likelihood of acceptance in less than a minute. It had a great offer that was hard to beat - I applied and was accepted. All from within the app. Also on the banking app, it has a direct dial to Barclays support/help line. One button push and you are through to polite helpful and knowledgeable staff, that will help you with your enquiry, or issue - easy and no stress. There are plenty of functions on their online banking site, that let you manage your account and payments /direct debits, transfer money and much more besides. I believe it is hard to find a better bank... Reviewed on: 8th December 2018
