Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Best high street banking app

The barclays app is the most user friendly out there and the features available are those which cannot be matched at the moment. Further their savings rates remain competitive Reviewed on: 4th June 2024

Personal & simply

It’s very easy to use and user friendly. It has many great greats to help keep on track of forecasting Monday and helping to budget. They have great saving offers and rewards. You can do everything in one place which is very convenient. Overall, it’s a great application to manage your bank account and make quick transfer etc. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Great app!

The mobile banking app is safe and super streamlined: very easy to use and can access lots of different products easily. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Just a bank

I honestly feel like my Barclay bank account is just a place to keep my money. I don’t feel like anything has ever been offered or that it’s better than other establishments. If another bank knocked on my door and offered to switch my banking right then and there, and offer a free bank account with a credit card, saving account, spending rewards and to do the whole transfer I would. The only reason I have stayed with Barclays is because I do not have time to switch accounts. Whenever I visit a branch it takes ages to see someone despite making an appointment, I am pushed to sign up for things I don’t want or need (a PBA, when I first joined) or I request for something and it is a mess. For example I requested a cheque and was refused a single tellers cheque and had to wait 3 weeks for a whole cheque book, and then received 2 other cheque books in the following weeks. In summary it’s just a bank Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

I strongly recommend this bank

I opened the account at this bank a few years ago, and I met very responsible people who helped me! Thank you for the patience and the resect that showed you to me as a clinch. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
