switched current account to Barclays

I’ve just switched current account to Barclays and the benefits are very good and was so easy to switch! . The cash ISA is also really easy to use, and has a solid interest rate. Customer service has been excellent so far. Reviewed on: 24th January 2026

Foreign currency cheques

I received a cheque in Canadian Dollars (approximate value £800) and went to my local branch of Barclays to pay it into my current account. I was very disappointed to be told that Barclays no longer accepted cheques for any currency other than £ sterling. I therefore had no choice but to open a low interest savings account with another UK bank for the sole purpose of paying in this $ Canadian cheque. This was time consuming and should not have been necessary as Barclays used to be able to deal with foreign currency cheques without problem. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026

My local branch is 15 miles away....

My local branch is 15 miles away and telephone banking is via an Indian call centre. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026

Fraudulent Activity

I had an issue of fraudulent activity on my account. Barclays were very effective in helping me resolve this issue and getting new bank cards issued. A refund was always issued very quickly which meant that I wasn't out of pocket. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026
