Having had more than a few issues with Banks over the last few years, it was a breath of fresh air to deal with Barclays. Having had financial issues, and being unable to get credit of any kind, the one thing we struggled with more than anything was getting a bank account. Barclays were extremely helpful, keeping us up to date with all of our options, and recommending things we could do to help our future banking experiences - I would recommend their personal touch, and their app is fabulous.

Great bank for second chances

Having fallen into debt which I couldn't afford to repay as I should have done, I tried to open a current account with Barclays, but with a bad credit score I expected to be turned down. I wasn't. Not only did they give me the current account, but they allowed a couple of small "blips" go through without penalizing me. Thanks Barclays. Reviewed on: 30th November 2016
