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

Awesome bank and great customer service! Would recommend!

I've been using Barclays for 10+ years now and it has been great, would definitely recommend. Reviewed on: 21st December 2017

Best Banking App on the Market

I’ve used the majority of the banking apps on the market and Barclays by far, has the best layout and integration into all accounts. They’ve packed so much into the App that the only reason for a physical branch is to deposit money. Been with them for around 7-8 years and never had a problem. Always less than two minute wait so speak to a member of the personal banking team. Reviewed on: 19th December 2017

Excellent Barclays since forever

I've been with Barclays for nearly 25 years now and have always received excellent service. Reviewed on: 19th December 2017

Excellent Services

In my local Barclays Branch the staff are exceptionally friendly, helpful and courteous. They make me feel like a valued customer and go above and beyond to help customers. Reviewed on: 14th December 2017

My Hero Bank

Barclay's Bank makes me feel comfortable and valued each time I visit their bank. Their customer service is exquisite and their products are easy to understand. I always feel at home with them. Reviewed on: 12th December 2017

Great service

Great service good products , good online service Reviewed on: 11th December 2017

Good Tech Poor Customer Service

The app is great really easy to use but if you have to speak to a real person their foreign call centres really let them down. Very poor service. Reviewed on: 8th December 2017

Helpful in branch but extortionate charges

Staff are generally helpful and friendly, but their charges are extortionate. Reviewed on: 3rd December 2017
