Barclays Current account reviews (4963)

Trouble free and Trustworthy.

I've held a bank account with Barclays for a good many years and never had one cause for complaint. The staff at my local branch are polite, efficient and always ready with a smile and a pleasant word or two. Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

Blocked my account with no reason or notice

Blocked my bank account still haven't gave me a reason, refusing to give me my own money from my bank what I work for. Customer service on the phone is a load of crap, rude staff and don't know what they are on about. Once this is sorted I will be moving banks elsewhere. Crap bank Reviewed on: 8th November 2016

Very happy no problems with Barclays at all

I have to say that despite some people having bad experiences with Barclays my own experience has been very positive. I love that you can design your own debit card and have just been accepted for a credit card and can see all the details straight away online and have a realistic credit limit. I find their online banking to be excellent, despite a few things that you can only do in branch, and overall am a very happy customer. Thanks Barclays Reviewed on: 24th October 2016

Card blocked 3 times in 4 months!

I joined Barclays after a friend recommended them to me. The first 12 months I had no issues atall. The past 6 months I have had nothing but problems!! My account has been. Frozen 3 times in the past 4 months due to "fraudulent activity " Barclays customers service team passed me around to 3 different people until I got to the person that could help. My account was unblocked and I was told the companies that had taken money from my account and that they could get this money back for me. I was then placed on hold and when the adviser came back he told me that they couldn't claim the money back I had to do it myself. Since this I have received my new card and yet again had the same problem. Reviewed on: 9th July 2016
