Ahead of the Rest

5
I have been a customer of several other banks and finally found one that doesn’t frustrate or annoy me. Despite having a basic account I have been able to enjoy all the benefits I need in a normal account. Apart from an overdraft, which I don’t need. Staff always helpful, brilliant app that I can do everything on,. Texts to warn me of action needed when funds are low and payments are due. Now I hear I can acces other accounts through their app. Barclays has thought of everything! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018
