Barclays Current account reviews (4953)

Xenophobic bank!

I’m not British, but I’m European and I have all the rights to live and work in England. This year I visited a Barclays branch in Soho/London to open a bank account and I was treated really bad by the staff only because I have accent when I speak English, they said they can’t open an account for people like me and invited to leave the branch. In other hand, HSBC was easy and nice with me. The staff in Brixton and also London Bridge was very helpful. I fully don’t recommend Barclays. I sent an email for the bank and never got an answer. I guess the staff is trained to disrespect non British clients. Reviewed on: 5th December 2018

Best of all banking apps I've used

The app is more up to date than any other I have used and has many advanced services Reviewed on: 5th December 2018
