Barclays Current account reviews (4953)

Banking extras costing more each year

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

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

The Barclays app

The Barclays App is most definitely the quickest and easiest app to use. It's always working and customer service is always quick and everyone is always nice. Being a loyal customer, I couldn't reccomend Barclays more. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
