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

Fast and efficient service, with friendly staff

I have been banking with Barclays for over 10 years. The service they offer is just fantastic, always efficient and the staff are always smiling Reviewed on: 12th February 2017

Local Barclays Branch staff very helpful

I have been visiting my local branch of Barclays in Witney, Oxfordshire since 1979. Over that time I have seen the branch change with regard to size, services and number of staff. I can honestly say that no matter what the changes, the staff there have been, and are, always helpful and understanding. Reviewed on: 12th February 2017

Good long term option

The online banking is easy to navigate, I don't earn any interest but have been with them so long, it's easier to stay. Reviewed on: 12th February 2017

banking made esay

overtime i go there is always someone to help and they never ignore you. they always have this genuine smile and never get abrupt or uptight if I'm taking too long. Reviewed on: 12th February 2017

Unable to upgrade account.

I have had a Barclays basic account for over 20 years. Over £3000 is paid in every month and there are a number of direct debits on the account. The account is conducted properly. The criteria to upgrade to a current account are all easily met. Yet I am not allowed to do so because in the dim and distant past i missed two payments on my Barclaycard account. Despite many requests to reconsider they refuse to change this. If I was a criminal I would get out of jail, but once Barclays have judged you that's it. Reviewed on: 12th February 2017

Scared to change

Have been with Barclays since I was 10 years old. Know I could do far better in a bank but seem so scared to change banks. Why is that? Why are we all so reluctant to leave our bank even if we can get a better deal elsewhere Reviewed on: 12th February 2017

Great service

ALways had a good experience with barclays Reviewed on: 12th February 2017
