Barclays Current account reviews (4875)

Face less banking?

Recently my bank had a make-over. Stripped of old furnishings and front of house staff, the insides were dramatically changed. With posh designer looking comfy chairs dotted about the now empty floor and self service machines replacing friendly smiles. The question when I first walked in...am I happy with tapping in information rather than speaking my requirements to a member of staff. My verdict upon leaving... the machines were quick and who wants to queue for ages just for a friendly smile behind the glass! I vote for the face lift any day! Reviewed on: 5th February 2016

I am quite happy with the way Barclays handles my account.

I have a few accounts with Barclays one being a Basic Bank Account which Barclays just changed into a Basic Current Account for which I am grateful. My other account is a simple savings account which I hardly use. Reviewed on: 5th February 2016

best bank account ive ever had

They are really helpful and always make time for their customers, they have great online banking and really good customer service, the daily text alerts are amazing to know what money is going in and out of your account and they always send a text giving you a chance to put money in when you go overdrawn to avoid charges Reviewed on: 5th February 2016

Superb

I've been with Barclays for about 6-7 years, they are brill, never had any problems and always helpful if you need help, there online banking app is also easy to use. I'd recommend Barclays to everyone....also I love how you can personalise you bank card :) Reviewed on: 5th February 2016

I love my bank

They really go above and beyond making you feel important and they don't give the hard sell but always going above and beyond. I never thought I would say that about a bank! Reviewed on: 3rd February 2016

Standard bank account, charges been dropped

The charges have been dropped for our account which is good however no upgrades or review of our account in 3 years Reviewed on: 27th January 2016

A Reliable Banking Experience

I am extremely forgetful and over the past few years have lost my bank card a number of times. Barclays makes it very easy to request a new one through the Barclays banking app. Reviewed on: 26th January 2016

The pin machines required for online activities are outdated and easily lost

I usually transfer money to Lloyds bank if I want to do anything with it online, they follow up on their security measures over the phone -- much better Reviewed on: 24th January 2016

brilliant

Very helpful, best bank i've used Reviewed on: 22nd January 2016

Online Banking

I have had no problems with Barclays before, I find their online banking platform easy to use and very efficient. Reviewed on: 21st January 2016
