Barclays Current account reviews (4939)

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

User experience is particularly good

Whether it is daily use or traveling, it is my best choice. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

User friendly transactions for young and senior alike

One can carry out simple transactions or more complex transacio Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

EXCELENT SERVICE

Easy app, good service at the brand and low taxes. Simples as that! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Best app ever

So easy and convenient, always handy to see your account from your phone Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Amazing Top Quality Banking Apps

I bank with two other banks, Santander and Nationwide. In comparison to their mobile banking apps, Barclays apps are simply the best. They never compromise on quality and they're user friendly. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Barclays banking

I've banked with Barclays for nearly 20 years and had a mortgage as well. including over the year long and I could not hope.to.be banking with a better group Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

A good bank but its a shame about the credit card restrictions

I have been a loyal customer of Barclays for over 5 years (I am only 20) and was interested in getting a credit card with a small credit allowance to take with me when I travel the world, but unfortunately was denied as I do not work for over 10 hours per week. I would still rate the bank as good over all. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Great bank

Loved banking with you easy simple and polite staff Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Exelant bank experience

I’ve banked with Barclays for over 12 years now. I am autistic and find managing money hard. I have been conned on line a few times and staff at Barclays have been so helpful and patient with me not only have they got my money back but also stopped companies from doing it again. Brilliant bank Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
