Barclays Current account reviews (4920)

Pretty good

Okay but confusing online system. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Simple to use and keeps me on track

I struggled with money for a few years and get into quite a lot of debt. It came a time last year when I wanted to transform my finances and make life liveable again. This is when i switched to Barclays and I haven't looked back. I've kept on track with my rent and bills every since. They don't push products on me like overdrafts and they have helpful charts to see where i'm spending too much. Reviewed on: 16th January 2018

Great Service

I find Barclays straight foward to deal with. Staff are always hel;pful. Online banking is easy. Reviewed on: 15th January 2018

Excellent Bank

I have been with Barclays for the last 20 years and their service is second to none. I have had no problems and will continue to bank with them in the future. Reviewed on: 13th January 2018

Great digital banking, but charges can be high

I've banked with Barclays for many years and can safely say I'm glad I've now switched banks. I had a current account with an overdraft and the charges that I've incurred in the last 4 years have been crazy. In my opinion, you are ok if you don't borrow with them. Their digital banking though is very good and easy to use. Reviewed on: 12th January 2018

A paid for bank account with lots of benefits

My Barclays account is great, I have held the account for 30 years and they have great customer service and products available Reviewed on: 12th January 2018

Great customer service

I always get great service from my branch. The staff know their things. The call centres could do with a little training on how to deal with customers kind Reviewed on: 12th January 2018

Barclays Online Banking

Really easy to use APP, shows accounts and cards held, easy to transfer between accounts and make payments. Sign up for Blue rewards and get £7 per month free :-) Reviewed on: 11th January 2018

Great Bank and account

Really good service, great product, friendly staff Reviewed on: 11th January 2018

Used to be better...

As a bank Barclays used to be amazing with customer service however as recent I have experienced somewhat questionable service with far too many 'computer glitches' for a bank. I have had both standing orders and direct debits been changed and fail with nothing to do with me. Their refusal to support Android Pay is just annoying, their service and app on Android is a sham compared with iOS. I'm disappointed Barclays has gone downhill so much..
