Barclays Current account reviews (4941)

Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Best high street banking app

The barclays app is the most user friendly out there and the features available are those which cannot be matched at the moment. Further their savings rates remain competitive Reviewed on: 4th June 2024

Great company

Good app and great service. Delivers exactly what you need in a bank account. Reviewed on: 12th November 2017

Very good

Helpful staff when I lost my card and had to get a new one, no problems so far, I would recommend Reviewed on: 10th November 2017

Great bank

On a couple of occasions I have messed up my finances, they arranged a meeting, got me on track and scrapped charges as realised wouldn't help clearing debts! Reviewed on: 10th November 2017

Adequate,

I’ve been with Barclays all my life, the accounts been adequate. I like the cash back option on online spending. The app is good. Loans are expensive. Not much perk for continuing customers, majority of rewards for new customers. Reviewed on: 10th November 2017

Awesome

Awesome app and functionality.......... Reviewed on: 10th November 2017

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
