Great bank but they closed my local branch.

Great bank but they closed my local branch so I now have to travel 30 miles to the nearest branch. Reviewed on: 11th January 2016

The staff in the branch are friendly and I find that my account is secure and I feel safe when banking online.

I have had a good experience with Barclays. If they think something is wrong with the account they will block your card but you get the phone call so there isn't much inconvienience. The security may be a bit high but I know this security will keep me safe when I am banking. Reviewed on: 9th January 2016

As a long term customer over 20 years never offered any benefits at all other than a basic account no overdraft no nothing. After being a loyal customer I found my account closed with no reason given Reviewed on: 3rd January 2016

Barclays bank account

A simple straight forward bank (Current) account with no excessive charges. Ability to organise funds via mobile, PC and online. Aswell as personal and telephone facilities. Mobile app is excellent with fast (in most cases immediate) transfer of funds between banks and accounts. Reviewed on: 1st January 2016
