Barclays care for their customers

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.

Free banking since 1975. Good fraud detection Reviewed on: 14th February 2024

Overall A Good Experience

Whilst the rates aren’t the best and branch closures are inconvenient, Barclays has decent customer service and the app is easy to use. Reviewed on: 5th February 2024

Many years with them ok

Had the account for many years, everything was fine except the interest rates for the deposits which are low. Reviewed on: 31st January 2024
