Barclays Current account reviews (4875)

Good bank give it a try

I currently have checking, savings. Setting up an online account will take you awhile. It will also test your patience, but once you get the feel of it you find everything fast and easy. You'll also see better interest rates than other banks. Reviewed on: 20th November 2017

Great knowledge staff, great customer service

Always helpful and knowledge about the products it has on offer, never puts pressure on to take a product that you don't want or need. Reviewed on: 20th November 2017

Fab easy banking

I love the barclays app to take care of my accounts. I love the ease of access and also now I can pay money in at my local post office rather than the branch. Great bank Reviewed on: 19th November 2017

Simply the best.

The most innovative bank. I love Pingit and the customer service is the friendliest and the highest quality. Reviewed on: 19th November 2017

Fully embraced on-line and Barclay's App

I find my on-line account easy to use and convenient. If I have any problems I can message Barclay's via my account and I will receive a helpful reply within a day. Similarly my Barclay's phone app is easy to use and convenient on the go. And if I have time to visit a branch they always so helpful. Reviewed on: 19th November 2017

Brilliant Barclays

Excellent service in the Andover branch, friendly staff and expert knowledge Reviewed on: 19th November 2017

Paying in is now an inconvenience

I used to regularly pay in cheques and cash into the quick drop box in the local bracnh. I would keep a stash of the paying-in envelopes at home, fill them in before I went and drop them in on the way to catch my train to work. Since 'improving' the branch, they have removed the drop-box, taken away threeog the staffed counters, leaving just two and added two machines. One or both of the machines are usually broken, and when they are working it now takes several minutes to make a payment and involves putting in your card, typing in details of the payment and various other details. I now have to make a special trip to the bank as there are long queues and eveything takes so long. Reviewed on: 16th November 2017

Simple honest friendly

I've been with this bank for years and they never let me down or rip me off with anything Reviewed on: 15th November 2017

Bring back bank clerks

There is now always a long lineof customers in the bank because there are no bank counters with clerks - everything now is automated and is not giving us the customer care we are used to or expect. Might change to a smaller bank with more personal service. Reviewed on: 15th November 2017

Safe and reliable

Ive had my same account since i was 15. Never had any issues all my problems and questions have been delt with quick and easy! Couldnt recomend this bank enough when ever someone has said a negitive comment i have changed there minds. Reviewed on: 14th November 2017
