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

great service

Ive been with barclays over 20 years they have been great and extremly helpful with products over the years. Always at hand to help with the new machines and guide you through. They instantly try to reduce any queue and offer help to the customer staff are always polite Reviewed on: 7th November 2017

Good customer service

I have banked with Barclays for 25 years. I have always found their customer service to be good however I think their account fees are a little steep. Reviewed on: 7th November 2017

Good Solid Bank

Have banked with Barclays for a number of years and have always found them extremely helpful .great service every time Reviewed on: 7th November 2017

Wasted time with very little apology

Having moved Home recently, I made an appt to change all my details in the branch. On arrival I made my way to the waiting area and sat patiently as many a staff member walked by. Now 10 min past my interview time I approached the cashier desk to ask why I was still waiting. He asked I take a seat and a colleague would be with me asap. 10 more minutes passed and finally the store Manager approached. NO APOLOGY FOR BEING KEPT WAITING. I was taken into a room and she made a note of my new address on a sheet of paper and stated it would be processed later... One of my cards had expired so she agreed a nrw card would also be issued. 2 months later NO card so AGAIN I returned to the branch to the cashier desk, who apologised as NO card had been requested. Such poor service and so poor I am in the process of closing my accounts Reviewed on: 7th November 2017

Does what it needs to

I have a Current account with Barclays and am pleased with the service. Whenever I visit the branch (Haverfordwest) I am dealt with efficiently. I recently had to make some changes to my account due to a relationship breakdown and they sorted it all out very quickly. I use their mobile banking app and, despite being a sceptic, find it to be invaluable. A great all-round service. Reviewed on: 7th November 2017
