Best high street banking app

The barclays app is the most user friendly out there and the features available are those which cannot be matched at the moment. Further their savings rates remain competitive Reviewed on: 4th June 2024

My Bank A/C

I have had a Barclays a/c since I don't remember. They have always been helpful; either by 'phone or online. My recently installed mobile app. is the bee's knees. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

User-Friendly

5
Barclays banking app is easy to use even with us new in the UK. You can't screenshot anything and that makes me feel more secure in using the app. I was charged wrongly and they were able to get it back for me within 24hrs. They were very accommodating when we inquired if we can use them as a bank for our payroll so we opted to banknwith them instead of hsbc as recommended by our employer. It's a pleasure banking with them. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018
