Best high street banking app

The barclays app is the most user friendly out there and the features available are those which cannot be matched at the moment. Further their savings rates remain competitive Reviewed on: 4th June 2024

not as user friendly as my other online account (Lloyds)

The Most unhelpful bank

I have banked with Barclays for over 10 years and anytime I have needed help with any matter they have never helped not even tried to help resolve any issues I have had I would never recommend them to anyone The only reason I still bank with them is because it is the closest bank to we’re I live and if need to deposit money into the account it’s only a five minute drive to the most unhelpful bank I have ever came across Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

They change their packs a lot and are very expensive
