Barclays Current account reviews (4953)

5* Customer experience

Excellency

Efficiency, secure and fast. From the first day I had it, I probably don't know the design of my Branch in Reading. Reviewed on: 6th December 2018

Customer service & great app

I would highly recommend Barclays banking and particularly their banking app for efficiency of service and a truly customer focused approach. They will always follow up on your queries and resolve problems. Reviewed on: 6th December 2018

Good freindly service

My local branch West Swindon, Wiltshire is fantastic, they are always friendly and helpful, and knowledgable . Only down side is that it is always busy as it is so popular Reviewed on: 6th December 2018

Great basic account-fantastic app

Was looking for a basic account after poor credit history. Where other banks would simply not entertain potential customers with poor credit score Barclays provided a great basic account. Where it really stands out is that even with the basic account you get the same fantastic customer service and access to the brilliant online tools. Too many financial institutions treat you like a second class citizen if you have a poor credit history but not Barclays. Thank you for treating us all equally! Reviewed on: 6th December 2018

Easy to access and use

What I like most about my application is that, once I set up and passed all security checks, logging in is piece of cake, and using features is simple. Whereas some applications which I used before were not bad, I was always annoyed by those 3-steps security checks each time, with my user, password, and passcode on SMS, and sometimes only token-allowed actions. All gone! I am so happy. Barclays has an accessible, yet secure app. The only „minus” is I cannot swap application, once out of the main screen, it gets you off. Anyway, I got to enjoy the other side, the security purpose for doing so. Reviewed on: 5th December 2018
