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

Excellent customer service and security

Their security system is excellent and they get things solved for you as soon as they possibly can. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Banking made easy.

I have been a Barclays customer for 32 years and never had a single issue with the bank. Applying for loans is simple using the online banking app, which has been great over the years, taking away the hassle of filling out forms and having to wait for them to be processed. I have entered into my overdraft a few times over the years and unlike other banks, the charges are not over the top and are well advertised so you know exactly what you will be paying. The Blue Rewards App is fantastic as well, as despite paying a monthly fee, Barclays pay me more back every month, just for having a set number of direct debits coming out of my account, as well as taking out my loan with them. Barclays are very quick reacting to card fraud as well and have been one step ahead of the game more than once when my card has been cloned. As things currently stand, I would never consider changing banks. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
