Barclays Current account reviews (4920)

Nonsense-free banking for years.

I have been successfully banking with Barclays for years. Quick, easy banking, just as it should be. Reviewed on: 16th November 2018

I can see my non-Barclays account in the app too!

I do the majority of my banking through apps, so I think it's great that Barclays has allowed me to add my Santander account to their app. it's made life so much easier now that I can see both accounts and balances in one place! The Barclays app never fails to impress me with new creative features that many other banks don't provide Reviewed on: 15th November 2018

I found them to be very reasonable and helpful

They text me if my account is about to go overdrawn,and even honour payments up to £50 or thereabouts as long as I get the money into my account within a few days.This really helped me once when I was ill (I have M.E.),and got mixed up over my account,going overdrawn.The chap in the bank was very understanding and helpful as he explained that I would not have to pay any charges. Reviewed on: 15th November 2018

Best bank about

Never any problems with great customer service and efficient online banking Reviewed on: 15th November 2018

Barclays bank

The online banking is great and shows account information in a clear and logical way but the saving rate on the saving account is poor especially considering the base rate has increased twice and it's still on the level it was on 3 years ago Reviewed on: 15th November 2018

Easy access to info on the app

Really pleased with the banking app so intuitive Reviewed on: 14th November 2018

Excellent customer service

Always great customer service particularly in crisis times such as lost bank card. Always sort things quickly and phone you back if they say they are going to. Also fraud department very good and contact me before I’m even aware of any risk. Reviewed on: 14th November 2018

Superb customer service

Customer service and customer care are by miles above anyone else I've ever banked with Reviewed on: 13th November 2018

Protection is the key

I have banked with barclays for years now. I have had accounts with 2 other leading banks however Barclays has by far stood out from the rest. They have made me feel a person and not a statistic, I feel like every time I need to be in touch that they listen and treat me genuinely and without any judgement. I know my money is safe and secure. What more can you ask for when besides my children the thing I treasure, my money, without it we could not live and i don't have alot but I know it is safe secure and I am treat like i matter. Which is a rare feeling. As for onlinr banking it is quick simple and clear. Helps when other things in life are so busy. Thank you Barclays. Reviewed on: 13th November 2018

Never had any issues

I have been with Barclays for 10 years now and have never had any issues. Service is consistent and features such as online banking are all in line with the times. Reviewed on: 12th November 2018
