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

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

I miss barclays

I used to bank with Barclays for years until I recently switched to First Direct due to their current switching programme. I miss Barclays and will be coming back for sure some point in the future Reviewed on: 25th March 2023

Good app

Very user friendly app. No hustle, no millions of passwords Reviewed on: 24th March 2023

Bad in every respect

Business account, they got rid of personal bankers, who organized things for you. We now have a phone line that is never answered by staff who don’t have a clue about my business Mortgage, had to repeatedly explain that what they were telling me re my mortgage was wrong. Put in a complaint, the complaints person said I was wrong. The next day I phone to pay off my mortgage and close the account because I was so annoyed, to be told that I was correct and the previous Barclays staff were wrong. I closed my account anyway. Just rubbish Reviewed on: 24th March 2023

Great bank - over 10 years with them and counting

Have always had a great service from Barclays either at a branch, on the app or over the phone. Would recommend quite confidently Reviewed on: 23rd March 2023

good but stale

this used to be a great account, they need to improve. The features all work and are all there but its old infrastructure and needs a referesh, the app is good though Reviewed on: 23rd March 2023

The best "High Street" Bank for customer service

Simply put, I've banked with Barclays for over 20 years and had to talk to a Real Human Being on a number of occasions, either in person at a branch, on the phone, or via the app, and have yet to have a bad experience with them at all. I can honestly say most of my friends had bad experiences with other high street banks' customer service, and thankful I'm in the minority Reviewed on: 22nd March 2023

Best app available

Easy to bank with and the app is the best i've seen Reviewed on: 22nd March 2023

Everything Is Easy

I've had my current account with Barclays for more than a decade and, since they introduced their App, I've hardly ever been in a Branch. I can do pretty much everything via the App and see/operate (nearly) all my accounts - simple needs simply done. Reviewed on: 21st March 2023

Banking made easy

Barclays Bank has many features on its mobile banking app which make it extremely easy to manage one’s account, make inquiries, get help, track spending and transfer money. Would highly recommend Reviewed on: 21st March 2023
