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

Online Banking App

Beginning of the year I changed accounts to another bank and it was a case of „you don‘t know what you have until it‘s gone“ - i quickly was looking to change back to Barclays. Especially the app was so much better than other providers, it‘s simple, and gives me all features that I need. So happy to be back! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
