Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Been with Barclays for years, but looking for another...

I've been with Barclays for my current account all my life - it just seemed easier to stick with the same one. No more though - I plan to change as soon as possible as one too many times they have disappointed me. Even their Student account was the least flexible when I attended uni between 2004-2007. Recently their overdraft charges have become extortionate - you get charged 75p per day if you're up to £100 overdrawn, £1.50 per day if you're up to £300 overdrawn and a staggering £3 per day if you're overdrawn by £300+. This was sprung upon me one day and started the next week - I was cruising along at minus £700, and suddenly had to find a way to get out of it, lest I end up paying £90 a month interest. It's ridiculous. Reviewed on: 26th August 2015
