Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Easy to open an account

4
I was a UK resident but not citizen recently arrived in the UK. I went to several banks to open an account but found them uninterested and unhelpful, except Barclays. Several years later I am still with them. Reviewed on: 15th February 2016

Internet Banking App

5
Absolutely love the Barclays banking app! It’s so easy to use and navigate around, all the information you need to know is on there. I love the retail icons against your purchases so you know where the payment was made. The calendar is really useful as it shows when your payments are due to come out. You can transfer money easy and there are so many other functions to use on it. I used to bank with a different bank and their app was so basic and Unfunctional. I just love the Barclays one and would recommend it to anyone, there is hardly ever any down time. I use it all the time! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
