Review of the Barclays, Current Account:

Reliable

Amazing products, reliable bank and excellent customer service. Reviewed on: 7th March 2022

Unable to do much My advice..... avoid Barclays!

Unable to do much at all in branch except getting the very simplest of instructions carried out - have to book an appointment to see someone (at best a week ahead, on one occasion two weeks!) Local branch closed some time ago now have to travel into the centre of town. Barclays lost my original registration of a Power of Attorney on aunt's account (she's elderly with Alzheimers) so it took 14 days in all to set up. Letter received confirming online banking set up - try to pay the bill for aunt's respite care and system states I have to apply for a PINsentry card reader.... no mention of this on online banking confirmation letter! Worse still my covering letter with the PoA registration application specifically stated that there was urgent need to pay a bill on my aunt's behalf. I have no good experience with Barclays at all :( Reviewed on: 11th July 2024

despite having had the account for almost 6 years and it being my main bank, I don't receive offers as a customer, my card has never raised the credit limit, I think a bank is not as loyal to its customers Barclays Reviewed on: 14th June 2024

Not an awful lot to say, the easiest bank to use in my experience, with an easy to use app. Unfortunately the app no longer allows you to track accounts you have with other banks, but it is still easy to make transfers and manage balances and cards etc. Reviewed on: 7th June 2024

Best high street banking app

The barclays app is the most user friendly out there and the features available are those which cannot be matched at the moment. Further their savings rates remain competitive Reviewed on: 4th June 2024
