Barclays Current account reviews (4941)

Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Easy to open an account

I was a UK resident but not citizen recently arrived in the UK. I went to several banks to open an account but found them uninterested and unhelpful, except Barclays. Several years later I am still with them. Reviewed on: 15th February 2016

poor service

Whats the point of having an account if they have closed most banks in Norfolk and even one in Norwich? In the real world, people still need cheques to pay tradespeople who do not accept any cards, to pay at bars who do not accept cards, and with many village post offices closing too it is hard to find anywhere to pay in cheques - and most branches only have junior staff who are unable to deal with any problem or make their own deciiions. Barclays has forgotten what banks are for. Reviewed on: 1st January 2018

Personal Bank Account

I have been a Barclays customer for nearly 50 years and have never noticed a mistake on my account. Reviewed on: 1st January 2018
