Barclays Current account reviews (4920)

A reasonable current account

3
I've never had any real problems. The online banking is easy and seems secure. However, I am going to miss Kaspersky when my free account runs out.The other benefits are not great but with a premier account and Blue rewards you pay £3 a month and get paid back £7(? !). there are other tiny treats - mostly negligible. Their saving and investment products give a poor return. Reviewed on: 8th March 2018

Banking good. Customer service, no so good

Banked for 15 years, always been a good firm for money, app, accessibility etc. Customer service has always let it done though. Reviewed on: 22nd February 2018

Great online but what about your branches??

4
Problems setting up account which did get rectified & since then all fine,like online set up but shame I can't rely on local branches to be open regular hours and the main branch that is open mon-fri 9-5 uses mainly machines with one business desk but they need so many staff on the floor supporting customers use these machines is this any better?! Also why isn't Barclays supporting the Android pay app?? Reviewed on: 11th February 2018

Excellent Bank Account

Love my account with Barclays Bank. I have signed up for the Blue Rewards scheme and have been gaining lots of cash back over Christmas. Have also loved using the App on my phone this year which I would rate as one of the best Apps I have ever used. Reviewed on: 11th February 2018
