Barclays Current account reviews (4869)

I have always found Barclays to be helpful and considerate

I have an online current account with Barclays and find it very easy to manage with the help of their card reader. I do not have to rely on texts for payment authorisation which has been a problem for me living in an area with no mobile signal. I can do practically all my banking online with no hassle, 24 hours per day and no queueing! Reviewed on: 29th April 2015

fine but not v proactive

They are fundamentally fine but seem v unproactive when it comes to providing financial assistance. When i put in £50, 000 to my account from the sale of a flat, no one bothered to suggest putting it into a high earner account or indeed anything similar, other banks would jump to it.

All you need

Barclays bank accounts contain everything you need from a bank account. It's simple and clear as you can get. Online banking is useful and non fussy and you are able to manage your finances quickly and easily. A lot of work seems to have gone into the production of the online banking and it definitely shohws in it's usability! Reviewed on: 24th April 2015

Easy access through several different options, free and well run current account.

The Barclays current account is free, well run, and easy to use. They offer many platforms to manage your account, and keep you well updated through several different methods. I find the bank to be supportive and helpful, without being too pushy. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2015
