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

Great Apps, Great products

Never had an issue with any of their products or services. It always amazes me when I hear of other people talking about having to ring their bank to sort something out.. our bring out their card reader to send you a fiver. Barlcays Works, which helps me work. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Great experience over 13 years!

I have been with Barclays for over 13 years, have always found it a good bank, but looking back I realize now it's better than ever! Staff always friendly, telephone help always helpful, and even the mobile banking App is great! I love it! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Easy and convenient

Barclays banking app is easy and convenient. Everything is in one place and makes it much easier to control your finances. Wouldn't be without it Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Best Digital Experience

So perhaps the rating I've given isn't entirely fair objectively as their customer service isn't the best by far however as a purely digital customer the experience is the best in the market by a mile. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
