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

Absolutely error free and secure experience

I have been using Barclays bank account and app since 1.5 years now and I must say the app is very secure and sturdy. The moment I think of an improvement it's there and with the fingerprint login it's doubly secure now. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Love it! But ...

Barclays is very convenient! Love their app. There's just a slight hiccup when changing phones, as you need to go to the bank again just to update to a full account, but otherwise I'm satisfied. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

I have many bank accounts Barclays is the only one I’ve never had an issue with and rely solely on them for my day to day banking! Will be closing all my other accounts shortly and will only be using Barclays by far the best! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
