Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Best high street banking app

The barclays app is the most user friendly out there and the features available are those which cannot be matched at the moment. Further their savings rates remain competitive Reviewed on: 4th June 2024

Excellent app and online interface.

It is easy to move money and pay bills. Excellent access to info on my spending. Only paying in cheques on the app does not work well Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Just useless

Terrible experience with the platinum credit card. Avoid it at all cost to not incur in some really bad experience as happened to me. I needed to purchase something and for two days in a row the bank frozen my CC saying it was for a security reason. Payments in any way were not going through, by app, apple wallet or using it with the pin. I needed to call customer service all the times, a waste of time. Really awkward situations. On top of that, my CC keeps disappearing from the app, so you need to keep on calling them to hear the same music all the times. Ridiculous! Something to take into account for future... Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Rubbish bank

Customer service is rubbish, spent hours awaiting for my call to be taken, let alone dealt with. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great bank

Great bank. Had no issues. App is easy to use. Just wish you could split finances into more pots like some new online competitors do. Reviewed on: 15th March 2023

Ok

Being a long term customer for many years feel like i am being treated for granted Reviewed on: 13th March 2023

Greedy bank

Typical capitalist bank, invest in fossil fuels and no care for the planet. Also, they don't pass on higher interest rates to savers... just making a profit off the backs of customers Reviewed on: 13th March 2023

Bad

Not worth the time or effort at all Reviewed on: 13th March 2023

Fast and easy

The bank customer service is not as great as other banks Reviewed on: 13th March 2023

Reliable

Banked with them for years without problems Reviewed on: 12th March 2023

Lost it

A decade ago Barclays was THE bank as it offered a very tailored service. This has now gone and foreign call centres are the buzz. Cheap shot Barclays Reviewed on: 11th March 2023
