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

Great account with fantastic rewards.

Switched my old account to a Barclays banks account. Makes life so much simpler, the app is fantastic, great rewards on selected accounts. My partner even switched his not long after I did. Reviewed on: 31st January 2017

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. Reviewed on: 30th January 2017

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

Best bqnk

I am proud that exist such a wonderful bank Reviewed on: 28th January 2017

Average

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

Great bank

Always helpful when wanting help in anything! Always there to help! Reviewed on: 9th January 2017

Best bank I've been with.

I started a Barclays account five years ago & have had no issues since. Their mobile app is amazing & their security is really tight. It's easy & fast to get into contact too, which is great! Reviewed on: 9th January 2017
