Barclays Current account reviews (4940)

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

Keep it up

I m happy with Pingit service I like to Pingit more and more Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Easy to use

The App is user friendly, allowing transfers even to new recipients. It has also reduced the number of times I've needed to call customer service team drastically! Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

My bank on the move

Having compared my app with other banks, Barclays are certainly in the top two. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

A great bank meets the needs of customers

I would recommend this bank to all students and general public as this will meet there needs and fulfil their expectations. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Friendly Bank

I am with Barclays for more than 27 years I am quite satisfied with services and products Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Best Mobile Banking App Around

The Mobile Banking App from Barclays is continually being improved and now is the main way in which i undertake online banking. The additions to functionality solve real issues (such as being able to temporarily block the card's use) rather than add something for the sake of doing so. The integration with other apps is great and having all your accounts (from different banks) on show is really helpful Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

The best

The most reliable, easy to use banking app, never lets me down. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Great bank friendly staff

Always willing to help and sit down and talk to you . Reviewed on: 7th December 2018

Convenient
