Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Easy to open an account

I was a UK resident but not citizen recently arrived in the UK. I went to several banks to open an account but found them uninterested and unhelpful, except Barclays. Several years later I am still with them. Reviewed on: 15th February 2016

Security

It is a great bank to open up your account with. Offers free antivirus softwares and you can personalise your card! Reviewed on: 10th November 2015

I've had a great experience using barclays they have such friendly staff

Barclays is a great bank to bank with I would not change. Reviewed on: 7th November 2015

I always receive friendly and polite service through barclays.

I have always had positive views about barclays I am currently with them myself never had any issues with them. I find they have recently been giving me more like my insurance for example last year i wasn't able to insure my laptop as they was only allowing products to the value of £800 though my laptop was worth more but I'm glad barclays are now allowing me to insure it at such a great price! I feel I have always been receiving the service I want and they are very helpful and polite in local branches too. Reviewed on: 7th November 2015

Fantastic bank, friendly customer service, helpful staff in branch, easy to use online banking.

Barclays are a great bank. Whenever I have gone in branch the staff have been friendly and helpful. Service in branch has always been quick and easy. I access online banking through the Barclays app on an almost daily basis - this is a fantastic way to check a balance, transfer money etc with just a few clicks. Best bank I have ever her an account with. Reviewed on: 5th November 2015

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

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
