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

The app is amazing.

It has been easy to operate and very helpful. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Amazing product and features at a cool price

The Barclays account gives me the option to pick what I need from my bank and the app is simply amazing! It allows control And access to my finances so much so that I don’t need to visit a branch more except for the fun of it. The new card control features and open banking are also very welcome. Definitely would recommend to anyone who wants a serious banking institution! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
