The app is so easy to use everything you need is there as soon as you log in, the only thing I think the app needs to be the best about is Touch ID/Face ID to unlock the app, other than that it’s perfect! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Barclays is providing a very efficient and fast service, both walk in or online services. I have contacted through the chat app so many times (also in the weirdest hrs..) and they always have been helpful. I truly recommend their services. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Great service but no overdraft for international students

4
I am very happy with the service especially compared to other banks: as an international student in London, the terms and conditions for opening accounts on other banks were either too complicated or didn't allow me to open an account at all. With Barclays it was easy. One thing I wasn't happy about though was when I needed a £50 overdraft for a time period of one week I wasn't able to get it because of the conditions for international student accounts. But otherwise great service. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
