I have been with Barclays for many years, both current , student and graduate accounts and all have been no hastle whatsoever. Tried to open accounts with other banks but always returned to Barclays. Reviewed on: 7th August 2017

Mediocre service

3
I have been a Barclays customer since I was 12 years old. Despite this loyalty (25 years) I think it is fair to say that I have only mediocre feelings towards the bank and would not go out of my way to recommend them to others. They definitely seem to fall short of the likes of Santander and nationwide for offering existing customers better rates and cash back rewards etc. Reviewed on: 6th August 2017
