Faultless service.

5
I have never had an issue with Barclays in over 11 years. On a few occasions, I have had a card cloned or suspicious activity on my account and it was dealt with before I knew about it which saved stress and hassle. Reviewed on: 7th April 2017

Simple and effective

Good product with no charge

4
Some banks charge to have current accounts. The standard from Barclays does not. Offers standard services as well as telephone and internet banking. Easy to use, transfer balances and set up DD and SO. Would recommend. Staff very helpful. Reviewed on: 4th April 2017

Great service

5
Everything you could need and more from a top bank Reviewed on: 3rd April 2017

Barclays Blue Rewards

4
Barclays have a loyalty reward system whereby they pay £7 a month into a seperate wallet for current account customers. It's easy to set up online, there is a £3 fee, but your still earning £4 per month for nothing. I started just over a year ago and have now got £105 for free. Reviewed on: 24th March 2017

Disappointed

2
I have been a customer for many years, but was very disappointed when they did away with the Additions Platinum account. Customer service is poor and seems to deteriorate year on year. To cap it all, when I went to my local branch to get some statements for my accounts, they included someone else's statement together with mine. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2017
