Barclays Current account reviews (4963)

On the phone for a while

While trying to sort out some problems with my account I was left on hold for 15 minutes for no reason Reviewed on: 16th August 2017

The best

Love this bank! The best account for your life Reviewed on: 13th August 2017

Easy to set up

It was easy to open an account with Barclays, I applied online. They conducted a credit check and within a few minutes I had successfully opened an account. Reviewed on: 9th August 2017

Great, long lasting service with multiple accounts

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

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

Barclays

I would recommend Barclays insurance its great value for money, great customer service & the claims process is relatively straight forward Reviewed on: 3rd August 2017

30 years and no complaints

I have been with Barclays and have never had a complaint. Reviewed on: 1st August 2017

Need for more cyber attack security

In previous years, I've had to change my card a few times, as they have been used by strangers. Barclays need to rethink their security because this sort of thing shouldn't be happening to we customers. Reviewed on: 28th July 2017

Not very helpful

I find barclays very unhelpful and did not manage to solve the matter that i had. Reviewed on: 25th July 2017

Fees are expensive

Overdrafts are costly, dont use them. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2017
