Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Best high street banking app

The barclays app is the most user friendly out there and the features available are those which cannot be matched at the moment. Further their savings rates remain competitive Reviewed on: 4th June 2024

Easy to use and great customer services

I have a bank account with Barclays, and I really like it! I've had for 5/6 years now, and so far have not thought about changing. I am happy with how easy it is to manage my account online, how safe my money feels and most of the time I can find out any information online, but if not it's easy to get through to a customer service representative.

Shocking service, poor telephone accessibility.

Nothing but issues since we opened the account. When we then lodged a fraud claim for a tv someone had bought on eBay for £459, they rejected our claim 3 times! Then had to wait 8 weeks to get a complaint resolved and finally get our money back, and had to get the ombudsman involved to sort out compensation. Shocking service. Reviewed on: 30th January 2017

Had a Barclays account for about eight years and there'snothing fantastic about our account or customer service but nothing awful about it either. Would be great if an account manager could keep in touch by email or online because having twin babies and school age children limits getting to the bank or making phone calls Reviewed on: 21st January 2017

Fraud finders

Twice my card has been attempted to be fraudulently used and both times Barclays has stopped any of the transactions leaving my account and contacted me straight away Reviewed on: 19th January 2017
