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

They make banking easy

I use their online banking everyday. Their app is very user friendly, easy to navigate & straight forward, in plain speaking English. The new feature of having all your banks appear on one app is truly genius. Why would you need to go anywhere else. Banking for the 21st century. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
