Barclays Current account reviews (4953)

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

Awesome

Delivers a fantastic service. No complaints at all. Reviewed on: 6th January 2017

Great Customer Service

Very friendly customer service and always willing to help. Reviewed on: 5th January 2017

Blue rewards scheme

Barclays give u money back for using their products. You are charged a three pound monthly fee but eran cah back totalling thirteen pounds if you have their current account, mortgage and insurance. Reviewed on: 5th January 2017

They listen and they act

Always great at dealing with enquiries, both in-branch and via secure online message. Reviewed on: 5th January 2017

Current Account Review

Barclays are always efficient and helpful...service is excellent. However the payment for the current account is a lot. Initially it was a lower rate and this felt good value. At a higher cost the value is less making the account much less appealing. Reviewed on: 2nd January 2017

A good bank for those who like distance banking

Barclays phone App, its innovation in online banking and in remote cheque cashing, mark it out as a bank for those who prefer to do their finances remotely. However, when I do need assistance, Premier banking provides all that I need with efficient and friendly service. In all, the best high street bank that I've used. Reviewed on: 28th December 2016

Easy swap over

I changed banks from a not well known local bank to barcleys, I have a few direct debits/standing orders etc and I did expect some disruption but it all went smoothly, cards arrived quickly PIN numbers for online telephone and mobile banking arrived within days, I get text messages when my account is used with an update of my balance so I won't go overdrawn, win win in my case, so much easier and faster than my old bank Reviewed on: 27th December 2016

Getting expensive

New charges for packages of products attached to my current account are starting to make banking with Barclays expensive Reviewed on: 27th December 2016
