Review of the Barclays, Current Account:

After over 20 years banking with them I was debanked...

After over 20 years banking with them I was debanked by Barclays, who refused to give me a reason. They closed all my accounts except for my mortgage, which meant I could no longer use the offset arrangement I had. I had just months before paid over £1000 arrangement fee to get an offset mortgage which worked well for me because I have a large savings pot. It would also cost me over £1000 to end the arrangement early. As long-standing, loyal customers, we were treated like criminals by our own bank. Reviewed on: 9th February 2025

Good but has room for improvement

Having been with Barclays for roughly 7 years, I've had a fair few issues between rejected payments and somewhat ineffective customer service, but as a bank account for general use it's not bad at all. The app and online banking are easy and intuitive. Staff are kind and helpful in person. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Unreliable

My partner has been with this bank for many years and has always had issues with the banking app. He is unable to even access his accounts on a weekly basis making it difficult to pay bills on time. I would not reccomend this bank to anyone who relies on mobile banking apps to manage their finances. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Can't use on google pay

The account works like any other Current Account but you can't link it to Google Pay which is very inconvenient in this day and age. I had to open a Revolut account and link them just so that I can use Google Pay Reviewed on: 30th March 2023

Good app and good saver

Good app and competitive saver for rewards Reviewed on: 30th March 2023

Rainy Day Saver

Fantastic interest rate for a current account Reviewed on: 30th March 2023

Best Bank

Has the best savings account on the market (5% up to £5000) , amazing support and great perks. Reviewed on: 30th March 2023

the app needs work

offers great rates, but the app is not functional. Reviewed on: 30th March 2023

I'd never go to anyone else

I've banked with Barclays since I was old enough to hold a bank account. I trust them implicitly so much so that I have not only my mortgage through them but also both of my children's savings accounts, all of which I can easily access via the app. I have never had any issue with the products, services or staff ... 100% professional 100% of the time.

A lot of fraud and scam, lost your money easily

Barclays is easy to be hacked, lost money and bank never help out. Stay away with Barclays Reviewed on: 29th March 2023

Amazing

When my mum passed away they couldn't of been better .Despite my problems they bent over backwards to make my experience easier and helped me a great deal .I would strongly recommend them to anyone who is thinking of opening a new account. Reviewed on: 28th March 2023
