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

Good customer service

My experience was very welcoming ,helpful and reliable Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Soo good I've recommended to others

I've recommended Barclays to several members of my family due to the great customer service and amazing banking app and pingit app which mean being able to keep in constant control out my accounts, a fantastic resource to me especially as I'm disabled and struggle to get to branches during opening hours etc. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Excellent customer service

My partner and I opened a joint account together as we’ve just moved in together. We also purchased other services with Barclays. Everything was explained really clearly and we were helped with setting everything up including the apps and told all about the rewards available to us. It was really quick and simple and it’s great to be able to monitor everything using the app. I particularly like the calendar and the blue rewards wallet, which keeps your rewards money separate until you choose to withdraw it. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Being able to do all your banking on a phone/tablet, allows us to continue with our busy lifestyles with peace of mind. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
