Review of the Barclays, Current Account:

Personalised debit card and SmartSpend makes this account stand out for me

I've had an account with Barclays for a while and find them to be friendly and efficient. I like that I could personalise my card with a picture of my kids (I find it makes me use it more as well!) I also like how the online benefits are getting better - the way to go. Pretty impressive for a free account Reviewed on: 22nd October 2014

Return of barclaysafe wallet

My barclaysafe wallet was due to be returned to me last August after barclays said the service was no longer available. I have only just received the pouch after untold phone calls, messages and complaints. Reviewed on: 1st March 2025

Online banking when it works.

Another bank pushing hard for online use and the platform doesn’t work properly very fortunately I didn’t need to use it at the time when it all went wrong recently so I was lucky I was concerned about it. Reviewed on: 28th February 2025

Barclays are closing too many branches.

Barclays are closing too many branches. I had to travel 15 miles to deposit a cheque and when I got to the main branch there was no desk service available. Just one employee telling everyone to use the automated machines on the ground floor. Reviewed on: 28th February 2025

Very bad customer service makes me leave Barclays

Customer for over 25 years and the one time I got scammed they let me down and wouldn't help. Very, very disappointed and I'll be closing my accounts with them at the end of March. Really poor customer service, they were very chaotic, not adding things to the complaint, loosing a signed for letter I'd sent with evidence and the last person I've dealt with was incredibly disinterested and dismissive and the one who closed the complaint. I suppose they want to get rid of old customers or something. Reviewed on: 28th February 2025

Got a fee free current account.

Got a fee free current account. Easy to use and free. Good customer service via phone and app. No local Bank which is the only downside Reviewed on: 26th February 2025
