Barclays Current account reviews (4963)

Greedy bank

Typical capitalist bank, invest in fossil fuels and no care for the planet. Also, they don't pass on higher interest rates to savers... just making a profit off the backs of customers Reviewed on: 13th March 2023

Bad

Not worth the time or effort at all Reviewed on: 13th March 2023

Fast and easy

The bank customer service is not as great as other banks Reviewed on: 13th March 2023

Reliable

Banked with them for years without problems Reviewed on: 12th March 2023

Lost it

A decade ago Barclays was THE bank as it offered a very tailored service. This has now gone and foreign call centres are the buzz. Cheap shot Barclays Reviewed on: 11th March 2023

Good bank overall.

They've been my bank for decades. Reviewed on: 11th March 2023

International bank

I like it because I can use it abroad so no need to carry cash when we travel. Reviewed on: 11th March 2023

Fantastic service and online support

Used them for nearly 20 years and never had a issue with the service Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Mr Nasir Miyan

They are one of the best banks to be with. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Terrible customer service, outdated

Really outdated services, requiring me and/or my partner to attend the actual branch frequently resolve issues that have happened due to a fault on their end. Their app is not user friendly and had issues frequently. They constantly keep locking me out of my account due to 'possible fraudulent activity on relatively minor transactions. Their premier account has near to no benefits and I will be closing my account with them soon for this reason. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023
