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

Amazing customer service

Always amazing customer service, mobile banking service easy to use and really fast, Barclays has everything I would want and need Reviewed on: 11th November 2018

So simple

I don’t know what it is about barclays. From the apps to the way they treat their customers, they are generally a great bank. I was with Lloyd’s before and I just didn’t gel at all. Reviewed on: 11th November 2018

Reliable, Relatable banking

Setting up new bank accounts with the Barclays app is so easy. I've been able to organise my finances easily and quickly. Staff are also incredibly helpful anytime I've had any questions. Easy banking, just the way it should be. Reviewed on: 11th November 2018

Extremely happy with Barclays

Always deal with enquires over the phone in a friendly, efficient and proffesional manner. I feel that my money is safe in my Barclays account due to their security and quick acting fraud department. Would and do recommend to family & friends! Reviewed on: 9th November 2018

Not bad

I've been with them for about 30 years and rarely had an issue. When I have they are always happy to help and solved my problem. I'd recommend them :) Reviewed on: 9th November 2018
