Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Easy to open an account

I was a UK resident but not citizen recently arrived in the UK. I went to several banks to open an account but found them uninterested and unhelpful, except Barclays. Several years later I am still with them. Reviewed on: 15th February 2016

Best bank

Being with Barclay's bank is the best especially when using their app online Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Was helped by the customer service member who showed me how to do telephone banking wish I'd done it sooner

She was very helpful and also explained blue rewards which is fantastic Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Very good for international students

Very good for international students. However, there might be a little better communication within the bank. I applied for my account online, and when I came to finish it up in the store, I had to do it all again, and provide data I already did online. But overall, it feel very reliable, and app is very helpful. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
