Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Best high street banking app

5
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

Everything has been sorted the easiest way

5
There was a problem with Barclays as I contacted customer support by phone regarding change my personal account details. Operators were not able to access my account without telephone password. I made a complaint by email and very soon, maybe in 30 min someone from Barclays contacted me by phone to help me sort out this problem. Everything has been done extremely easy way with apologising and compensation from Barclays. I am a Barclays' customer since 2009 I think and I am absolutely satisfied with its service. Thank you Reviewed on: 22nd April 2018

Mobile app absolute rubbish

Constant problems with the mobile app not connecting. It says sorry try again later every time. Today asked me to download an updated version from Google Play which I did - wiped out all my details - had to start all over again, losing all payees I pay money to. Re-entered everything which took ages, same message try again later. Rubbish app. Go to another bank. Reviewed on: 9th April 2018
