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

Love it!

The app’s ease of use is fantastic - fast and simple with all the info and functions you need at your fingertips for on the go banking and easy reference of past statements etc. Blue rewards is also a great perk providing a regular source of cashback. Thoroughly recommend Barclays! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

I love this bank, they’re very helpful, someone tried to steal money from my account and the bank phoned me to tell me to cut my card up because someone was trying to purchase things online and they knew it wasn’t me. I’m very grateful for their fast actions. All in all a very helpful bank with plenty of correspondence on staying safe and how to deal with my money. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018
