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

Very reliable bank

had a very good experience throughout my 8 years with Barclays, the app is very easy and convenient to use. Reviewed on: 4th December 2018

allways ready to help regardless how busy they are

I have vascular dementia they have the time to help me so I don't loose my control. As so much has to be taken over by my husband makes myself and I know other disabled or elderly have found this to be likewise for them Reviewed on: 4th December 2018

Supportive Bankin Partner

Have been banking with Barclays since mid 1960's- when I had a passbook and only a handful of coins to deposit. I felt just as valued by Barclays then -as I do now. Over the years since that time -whenever there has been a problem -this was resolved speedily. Cannot fault both Barclays and Barclaycard online banking. Reviewed on: 4th December 2018

Great customer service and amazing products

Way more than a simple bank, even for non premier costumers. Excellent customer care and problem solving. Great services and options. Reviewed on: 3rd December 2018

Best app, best for reliability, and customer service.

Never had a problem with Barclays, and I have been with most other U.K. banks. Their customer service is second to none, especially with their live chat feature on the banking app. Definitely the best banking app of them all. Reviewed on: 3rd December 2018
