Barclays Current account reviews (4963)

Faultless service.

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

I've banked with them for years and I've never had a problem. Customer service is always great when I need help! Reviewed on: 4th April 2017

Great

Efficient and helpful, with a handy app. Reviewed on: 4th April 2017

Good product with no charge

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

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

Barclays Blue Rewards

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

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

Closing of an Account!

Deeply disappointed when Barclays closed my Additions Plus Account that I was more than happy with, due to the benefits, to an account I didn't get much choice about having, just because they were getting rid of the Additions Plus Account from their range! Reviewed on: 13th February 2017

Review of Current Account

Great blue reward scheme although the current account is not good if you are overdrawn regularly. Reviewed on: 13th February 2017

Good service, but hate the call centre

I am mostly impressed with Barclays since switching my main bank accounts a few years ago. I find the online banking easy to use, the staff in branch are friendly and helpful. My only problem is with the call centre staff who on occasion don't seem to fully understand the problem/query, or are just a bit cold and inflexible. Reviewed on: 12th February 2017
