I've had my bank account for over a year now and i had no problem. I was hearing from my friends that their bank is unprofessional or confused but never had someone saying bad word about barclays. If someone wants to open a bank account i would recommend barclays. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

I never thought I would use on-line banking, until I discovered the Barclays app. I use it regularly, at least once a week. It gives me so much more control about what is going out of my account and when. I can set up standing orders, transfer between my accounts and others. Before it would've been a phone or trip to the bank. I can do it all from my phone on my way to work! Love it. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
