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

Always been good to me

Been with Barclays for years and have never had any problems. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars in because they keep closing branches and there are never enough counter staff on at busy times. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018
