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

Best so far.

I'm doing bank switching for some extra money so I have experience with a lot of other banks but Barclays is far better then the others. Helpful costumer service. Low fees including free international money transfer. Good rewards as in point collection. And definitely the best and easiest to use mobile banking. Recommend it every time.
