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

Very easy to use

Simply the best

The Barclays mobile banking app has been the star of the show for me. It has continuously evolved over time and improved with each and every update. There is so much you can do with it from banking cheques using your phone's camera and administering your direct debits and standing orders. It simply does pretty much everything I need for my banking requirement and then some more. Very impressed, a big well done to Barclays and a thank you for making our lives easier! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Absolutely amazing bank!!! Just A plus

I am using Barclays bank account for more than 1 year and I am happy with this bank comparing to other giant banks as I have used different bank accounts. Barclays is second to none and people are very polite providing quick service. I recommend Barclays bank for everyone !!! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
