Barclays Current account reviews (4953)

Life savers

When I was unfortunate to go bankrupt back in 2011 I had my bank account stopped and had no bank account to have wages paid into etc. So I had to find a bank quickly . So I popped into Barclays to ask about opening an account given my predicament. They couldn't be more helpful even when I told them I'd gone bankrupt They knew how upset I was and sorted me a account out more or less straight whilst sympathising with me and not being judgemental . I will forever be greatful to them and have nothing but praise for them and I will not hear a bad word against them. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Best of the best

I have been banking with Barclays since 2003, they have handled my finances brilliant. I have nothing but express gratitude to this user friendly bank. With their mobile application I can pretty much do anything with my money. I do not need to carry my card all the time as I can always use Apple Pay on my mobile phone Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
