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

Service and support

Perfect online banking, superior and premier in technology and information also so careful about fraud. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Always good service

Never had any problems in-store or online. Staff in branch are polite and friendly and always happy to help. And phone app is easy to use. Easy to understand and saves alot of time to having to use computer or cash point to check things. Great bank Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

A good bank that keeps you updated and has a local presence

I moved to this bank because they have a local presence, important with all the recent IT outages that are likely to get worse in future. Keep it local! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Excellent Bank

Barclays is an excellent company who provide accounts credit cards and various products. I can talk only of Current Account and Credit Card as I have an account of them. They are first one who try new and innovative things . Barclays has the best mobile or online banking app which has got all the security and features, it is very to use and effective. They always give customer service as well. I love to be a Barclays customer and look forward to use their services. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
