Review of the Barclays, Current Account:

Convenient, fair, friendly, helpful...Barclays have made me happy!

5
I love the features that Barclays provide. I find them much more 'with it' than other banks and the use of pingit is very convenient for me and my family. I love that the customer service is always so good and I'm able to contact them whenever I need them. The staff in my local branch are always friendly too and after years of banking with another bank I can safely say I'm very pleased to have switched to Barclays. Reviewed on: 28th January 2015

Barclays Bank great bank and easy to use the app

I have been with Barclays Bank for many many years now. They have always been a great bank and the app is really easy to use. I will not be changing to any other bank in the future as I’ve never had any problems with them. Great bank and good customer service too. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

After over 20 years banking with them I was debanked by Barclays, who refused to give me a reason. They closed all my accounts except for my mortgage, which meant I could no longer use the offset arrangement I had. I had just months before paid over £1000 arrangement fee to get an offset mortgage which worked well for me because I have a large savings pot. It would also cost me over £1000 to end the arrangement early. As long-standing, loyal customers, we were treated like criminals by our own bank. Reviewed on: 9th February 2025

Shocked and disappointed

1
I've just had to retire. I'm now only on the state pension. Barclays have kindly informed me they are taking away my overdraft facility ( I'm not overdrawn - I owe them nothing ), and told me if I become overdrawn, I won't have access to my account ( that's quite a threat - starve and become homeless ). So thanks Barclays for the removal of the financial safety net of a disabled pensioner in the middle of a cost of living crisis. I've banked with Barclays for decades. They have made a fortune out of me when I was working. Now it seems I am disposable. Reviewed on: 13th December 2024

I can't stand what it has become.

I can't stand what it has become. It had deteriorated over the last 20 years. I preferred it when the setting was more formal. Stop shutting down branches. Reviewed on: 14th October 2024
