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

The best so far

Barclays is always on the cutting edge of improvements and I like that they are trying to educate people about money and finance with several programs and lots of support Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Long term customer

Well after being a customer for many years. Barclays should look at customers loyalties and offer more help or even check in to see the accounts are suitable. I enjoy being with Barclays just this last year it's been a rough road with them been thinking of leaving. Promises never kept. Overall it's had more ups than downs and I like the fact that pin sentry is used for extra safety. One thing that I hate is the on call centres abroad language barriers to communicate so I always wait for business opening times to avoid the stress. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
