Barclays Current Account reviews (4824)

Great service

Great service with continuing to have a counter service and staff always polite. Other banks have taken away the personal counter service and you have to use a machine - but not Barclays Reviewed on: 29th January 2022

Not the best

More concerned with making money from customers than providing a good product Reviewed on: 26th January 2022

Barclays

I had my first bank account with them and have been a customer for 26 years, I got my first mortgage with them also, great helpful friendly staff Reviewed on: 26th January 2022

The best bank!

I have been with Barclays for over 10 years and they are the best bank out there. As a customer you feel they value your security as a priority and do whatever they can to help with your day to day banking. Every problem I have ever had has been almost immediately resolved and often with some form of compensation. Reviewed on: 26th January 2022

Just really good

I use to use it every day and it made my life much easier, now using a different bank I now realise how good Barclays actually is Reviewed on: 26th January 2022

Was my main account for years but closed when I hit hardship

Unfortunately, I hit hard times around 15 months ago and Barclays basically closed my accounts as soon as I got a DMP in place, they’ve now accepted everything and have been sound since but initially had issues with them accidentally cancelled my over draft when I requested a decrease and then sent me £50 For the inconvenience however as a bank they blocked my account several times and I had a few issues since switching to a different bank I’ve realised how shocking Barclays are. Reviewed on: 25th January 2022

Reliable

Barclays is reliable, consistent, and efficient. I can transfer money between accounts in an instant! The app is very user-friendly and I’ve been using Barclays my entire adult life without a problem. Reviewed on: 25th January 2022

easy to use

been with barclays for about 30 years and never had a problem,reat easy to use app as well, Reviewed on: 23rd January 2022

Only bank to accommodate me

Lived abroad for a number of years and had no UK bank account in my own name. Had to return to UK for personal reasons. Barclays was the only bank who would open me a bank account as I had no credit rating and no fixed address in the UK. They were so understanding. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2022

need to give better savings rates

whilst general daily banking is good and the mobile banking app is handy, it would really be a good thing to start upping the savings rates on some accounts. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2022
