Having a Barclays cyrrent account

I've had my account with Barclays for 8 years now and I thought it was worth saying that I have had zero issues with it. I'm on a standard current account with Visa debit card. I chose at the time bot to pay for one as they had a few options at the time to cover mobile phones etc. I used to bank else where but would get charged stupid figures for sometimes going over my agreed limit before pay day. Don't get me wrong Barclays charge me but we are talking under a pound where it used to be £25. The staff are at my local branch lovely which convinced me to join. The word "banks" has become a dirty word with horror stories on how they treat customers but I for one am happy. Worth a look if you're thinking of changing. Reviewed on: 19th February 2016

good management of fraud

barclays always stop activity on the card if they think it has been frauded even something as silly as using it in a different county or country or if you have made multiple purchases Reviewed on: 18th February 2016

i've been with barclays for 2 years and they have always given me great service, been straight forward and helpful

i was previously with santander who had terrible customer service, i was so unhappy with their service i left with barclays, the move was straightforward and they have always been helpful and easy to deal with, i would highly recommend them Reviewed on: 18th February 2016

No Problems

My bank are quite efficient. Online transactions are easy to carry out. Logging in is simple and feels secure with the card reader. When I visit the branch the staff could not be more helpful. So all in all I am satisfied. Reviewed on: 18th February 2016

Amazing easy to use both online and instore

I feel that Barclays account offers excellent service both online and instore. It is so easy to use..You can pay bills and transfer money. Even going instore the staff are friendly and they offer loads of paying in machines where you can pay in cheques, cash and bills. Amazing friendly service. Reviewed on: 18th February 2016

No issues but could offer more

The bank does not seem to offer much in the way of rewards but I do like the pay monthly benefits which I do use on a regular basis. Reviewed on: 18th February 2016

Freindly staff always ready to help

I've been a Barclays customer for over 30 years and I will never change because the day to day service is so good. I like going into the bank and talking to someone face to face. It's a local branch and I always feel welcome. Reviewed on: 18th February 2016
