Review of the Barclays, Current Account:

Reliable & Trustworth

I have had a current account with barclays for over ten years now and it has always been a hassle free experience. Any time I have contacted customer service they have been happy to help and solved any issue in good time. Reviewed on: 1st June 2023

Long term customer genuine feedback

Been banking with them since childhood account. Have had generally good experience of their services, but would appreciate more support, advice and reward for long term custom. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Terrible call centres, poor product selling points

Was with Barclays for 15 years from a child to my first job. As an adult, I realised there was no benefit to being with them. Later when I had to have a mortgage with them, I opened a bank account. Their systems couldn't handle me having both a mortgage and a bank account with them, so my mortgage disappeared and couldn't be interacted with. Calling them was a nightmare, hard to get through, difficult to understand the agents, and they couldn't fix the problem. In store they worked directly with Barlcays IT department, but still couldn't fix the issue. In the end they set me up with a completely new profile. After a few years the new account wasn't giving me any benefits, so I closed the account... this then wiped my mortgage from the account again! I told them directly to set me up with a new profile as that had worked in the pass, so at least this time around the issue was fixed quicker. In general, they're also he worse bank for ethics and fossil fuels, so even as a basic single bank account, there's still issues. They are the only bank I will actively warn people to avoid.

Bank? What bank??

They've closed almost every branch and have removed the cash bonus on the blue rewards . When you try and do any in person banking you have to find a "pop-up" and 9 times out of 10 you just get told to go and do it online Reviewed on: 31st August 2024

Banking needs reform,

Banking needs reform, many banks are going online and ditching bricks and mortar access. I say let the over paid managers be replaced with software too. Reviewed on: 25th August 2024

Decent enough bank

I've been with them a long time and have found my account easy to use & access whenever I need to. There are no benefits along with my account though as well as no overdraft which makes it difficult to beat other account providers Reviewed on: 24th August 2024
