Barclays Current account reviews (4875)

The impression given by this company is that it makes its money elsewhere

The local branch was recently transformed into the bridge of the Starship Enterprise; I don't know if there was any customer consultation about this, but I doubt it. the effect is that conversations with account holders formerly taking place in private are in a public arena -- quite possibly en route to social media. Reviewed on: 10th November 2017

Good fraud prevention

Stopped someone who cloned my card from going on a spending spree! They flagged it up straight away and contacted me . Reviewed on: 9th November 2017

All round good bank

Never had a problem with this bank, theyve always helped me solve any problem from being overdrawn to loosing my card. Love the security i recieve from them. Reviewed on: 9th November 2017

Love the Rewards scheme

I pay in £3 month they top it up with another £4 and top it off with the ability to earn cash back at different retailers. Reviewed on: 9th November 2017

Great FRAUD prevention

I always get notifications about my account plus also letting me know if problems with card and send replacement pretty quickly Reviewed on: 9th November 2017

Excellent

I have only ever used Barclays Bank and would never consider leaving. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Problem Free Banking

I have had my bank account with Barclays since I was around 13 and I can honestly say I have never had a problem. If I have ever had a query it has been dealt with quickly and without fuss. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I can't fault them and wouldn't think of banking with anybody else. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Best bank ever!

Hubby & I have been banking with Barclays for 12 years now. We have our current & savings account, life insurance, house insurance and travel insurance thru them. The service we receive is always second to none! Keep up the good work Barclays! Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Great security

Barclays security is amazing, someone tried to use my details to spend £200 once and they spotted it straight away and declined it and phoned me. Sent me a new card straight away! Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Mostly good

The only problem I have had with Barclays was due to an incompetent call centre worker. Other than that they have been great, always checking when I add a new payee or spend more than Normal. Very handy app and links to all my accounts in one place. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017
