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

Had a platinum additions account for many years. Despite some of the original benefits having been removed it’s still worth the monthly fee. App is easy to use. Local branch counter staff in Ashford Middlesex have always been excellent and helpful. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Barclays products are the best! Easy to use app that’s packed with loads of features! You can easily find what you’re looking for through the app. Added peace of mind that I’m able to block my card if I lose it. Full stars if they’d add a “get cash” feature! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018
