Barclays Current account reviews (4875)

Only bank to accommodate me

Lived abroad for a number of years and had no UK bank account in my own name. Had to return to UK for personal reasons. Barclays was the only bank who would open me a bank account as I had no credit rating and no fixed address in the UK. They were so understanding. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2022

need to give better savings rates

whilst general daily banking is good and the mobile banking app is handy, it would really be a good thing to start upping the savings rates on some accounts. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2022

Does what's needed

A bank account that does whst is needed without bells and whistles.. Reviewed on: 20th January 2022

Great Bank

Friendly bank offering a wide range of products to suit everyone. Staff in branch can not do enough to help and the mobile banking app is one of the best around enabling you to do almost everything from the app. Reviewed on: 20th January 2022

Bad times

I was bankrupt and every bank I tried to open a simple account they all said no Barclays was the only one and for that I owe them for me getting back on my feet plus there online banking has got to be the best Reviewed on: 20th January 2022
