Great overall bank account.

Every query with Barclays either in branch or over the phone is dealt with efficiently and confidentially. I have felt secure that my money is safe with them. Reviewed on: 2nd December 2016

Friendly company - always go the extra mile

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. Reviewed on: 1st December 2016

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
