Banking App and Rewards

5
I really like using the banking app as it is easy to use and provides an overview of all my Barclays accounts, including Barclaycard, and most recently allowed me to add/view details from my accounts with other banks. I also appreciate the fact that my loyalty is rewarded via Blue Rewards. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Banking extras costing more each year

3
Not too long ago my Barclays Connect account was excellent value with Travel Insurance and other extras included in a small monthly fee. Things change, as they must, unfortunately not usually for the better. Costs seem to increase regularly with the value of the 'extra' seeming to reduce. Having banked with Barclays for around 50 years I'm now starting to look around for a better value account. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Ease of Use

5
Barclays is very user friendly; the app is clear to use - being a student having the £500 fee free overdraft is also very handy and overall dealing with staff over the phone is of ease too Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
