Barclays Current account reviews (4875)

The transaction of setting up an account was rapidly quick and successful :-)

5
Setting up the Barclays account was easy, rapidly quick and also the customer service you got there was perfect & exceptional outstanding, Overall I would give this person 100% as they worked really hard to open this account fast and also get a fair rate on what I deposit into my account each month, A lot quicker and better than HSBC Reviewed on: 5th November 2015

Good bank, Good Customer Service, bad at making appointments

5
Trying to get an appointment with an advisor at the bank is like trying to find someone leaving a sinking ship, theirs either staff holidays or they only work part time, other than that its a good bank with a comprehensive amount of products and a good range of branches, though my local is bad 9.30-4.30 and 10.30-.430 on Wednesdays so not the best on that respect. Reviewed on: 28th August 2015

OK

Impressed life long customer

I have been a Barclays customer pretty much all of my life and I have had no issues about the quality of the service or day to day banking. The fees have been fair and transparent to me which is something important to me. Reviewed on: 26th August 2015
