Barclays Current account reviews (4922)

Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Easy to open an account

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

True balance

I love that after a days shopping the transactions show immediately and are taken from my balance so I have an immediate true balance and that way I won’t overspend because I’ve forgotten everything I’ve spent. This really helps with budgeting x Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Easy and effective

I use on line banking most day quick to find out what’s going in and coming out. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

The best

Barclays has been one of the best banks that I have been with, my friends have been with many others, however, the speed of delivery and customer service times are amazing compared to the rest Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Easy peasy!

I use the Banking App and I find it easy to use & it’s on hand all the time ! So much better than firing up the laptop! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Best banking app

It is, probably, the best, safest, and easy to use banking app. It never gave me any problem, and this makes it very reliable. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
