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

Great service

Brilliant bank only thing is branch needs more appointments available to do simple things like changing your name after getting married. Or showing documents to close a dormant account. But fabulous service and fraud team stop things fast even if it was myself making the transaction, just could call to let us know they stopped the card to avoid embarrassment at trying to pay for things. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
