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

Fantastic mobile banking app and great branch customer service

The mobile banking app is absolutely fantastic! It makes my life easier, enabling me to do most of my transactions from the comfort of my own home. I still enjoy the choice of being able to visit the lovely staff at Merthyr Tydfil branch too. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Good app

Simple easy and flexible

I love my account, in fact I have had the same account since I was 16 years old ( that's going back a bit ) never needed to change it, never had any problems and there are lots of added extras I can choose from if I wish to. Very satisfied customer. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

FANTASTIC!

I find the app incredibly easy to use and am able to do everything I need to on the go, very rarely needing to go into branch. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

very useful and easy to app

I have quick access to my bank account balance and can easily make payments to 3rd parties with little fuss. I feel confident using the app as the security measures appear robust but not overly complicated. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Great App

Being able to check my account anytime and anywhere. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Always reliable

By adding my mobile banking app and more recently online banking via my computer, I'm always on touch with my personal banking with Barclays. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
