Review of the Barclays, Current Account:

Decent enough bank

4
I've been with them a long time and have found my account easy to use & access whenever I need to. There are no benefits along with my account though as well as no overdraft which makes it difficult to beat other account providers Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

You can Bank on Barclays

I’ve been a Customer for more than 10 Years Barclays is so Professional i always get my Pay 1 Day before the Due date not all banks do this Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Slow app & slow chat!

1
Honestley, logging into the Barclays bank app feels like I am connected to dial up broadband. I have other banking apps that just load and open so they have no excuse and its not at my end. The chat feature in the app was just as slow. I had an unexpected payment taken and tried to sort it. I waited ages for a reply and when they did I never got a notification on my phone yet notifications were on so hours had passed. I would not recommend them Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Trustworthy and great customer service

I have had an account with Barclays for a long time due to their highly dependable and helpful customer service. Their security is very good and have flagged unusual transactions in the past to check they were authentic. Only improvement would be an easier to use app with more features and money management tools Reviewed on: 9th March 2023
