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

services

They are very good banking services Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

User friendly. Secure too

I love using the Barclays app. The interface is very convenient to use. The PINsentry systems makes me feel secure too. And being a major historic bank makes me feel more secure about my money compared to many of the startup banks. As for opportunity of improvement, as an Indian I’m unable to make international transfers to India as INR isn’t one of the standard currencies available in the app. I have to go to the website for that. Considering that Indians are one of the major ethnic groups in uk, adding INR as one of the currencies would be a useful feature to add to the app. Also, some modern banks have spend analysis which are extremely useful.
