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

Banking app

I use the banking app everyday to keep an eye on our finances. As one of the older generation I must say this app is just so easy to use. We are so impressed with Barclays - you still have a branch nearby - that our grandson is opening an account with you on our recommendation. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
