Barclays Current account reviews (4963)

Excellent!

I have been with Barclays since I was 12 years old and they really do work with you! App is easy to use and nothing is ever difficult. Keeping being amazing Barclays Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Easy, hassle free banking

I always check my Barclays account online or via the app. I use web chat for all my questions which is a straightforward, hassle free and speedy process. I can control fully my account via the app. Check past transaction, transfer money between accounts, pay other people in a very easy and safe way, set up direct debits and the list can go on and on. The most recent feature is that you can also add accounts you hold with other banks as well. What more can you ask? Barclays app is a life saver. A very happy customer!

Ease of use

Due to work hours I find ths mobile app invaluable Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

fantastic! A**

I have previously been with Lloyds and Halifax and now Barclays. I have not seen a mobile banking app quite like Barclays! it's brilliant. I do only have the basic account but it's perfect for what I need it for. Customer service is brilliant too. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Easy to use and wonderful

It helped me answer a lot queries I had and there is absolutely nothing wrong it and it is a reliable service. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Comprehensive Offering

Basically, the barclays app does everything I'd want it to do and even things that I wouldn't have thought of but end up loving. Its very easy to use and I never need to go elsewhere to do what I need to do for my account. The only issue that I have at all is that I can't use other NFC payment methods other than through the app. This is limiting when it comes to devices that only use Google Pay. Of course, Barclays has caved to let Apple customers use Apple Pay, which as an android user is all the more frustrating. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Mobile app

Mobile app easy to use would be better if you could put an advanced payment date Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
