Review of the Barclays, Current account:

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

I have been a customer of this bank for over 10 years and I have always received brilliant and helpful customer service. I enjoy having the options of a variety of ways to speak to a customer service representative also. Recently I lost my bank card and Barclays were highly efficient and reassuring with cancelling my old card and sending out a new one which arrived within 48hours. They also checked and reassured me that any transactions made on my card after I had claimed the loss would be reimbursed to me. Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

Went into the Framlinham branch with loads of coins from a boot sale to put into my account and the lady on the counter (Shirley) was so kind and quick. Framlinham is a little out of my way but it is my go to Barclays branch - you never know I might bump into Ed Sheeren too Reviewed on: 6th February 2018
