A Barclays rep advised us to move money out of our current account as it was at risk if our debit card was stolen. A simple idea but not something we’d thought of. Also we have found blue rewards worth the monthly fee as we always make more back. Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

Free banking since 1975.
