Barclays Current account reviews (4953)

What a bank !!!

I have been with this bank from the day I was old enough to open an account and that has been years !!!! Fantastic service in every aspect ,regular offers and deals on side products alongside the bank account ,which I have taken on in the form of loans.They try to find you the feet deal for your circumstances and within your financial budget. Online services are fantastic as well as in house one the counter , never had a bad experience !!! What a bank !!! Reviewed on: 29th January 2022

Great service

Great service with continuing to have a counter service and staff always polite. Other banks have taken away the personal counter service and you have to use a machine - but not Barclays Reviewed on: 29th January 2022

Not the best

More concerned with making money from customers than providing a good product Reviewed on: 26th January 2022

Barclays

I had my first bank account with them and have been a customer for 26 years, I got my first mortgage with them also, great helpful friendly staff Reviewed on: 26th January 2022

The best bank!

I have been with Barclays for over 10 years and they are the best bank out there. As a customer you feel they value your security as a priority and do whatever they can to help with your day to day banking. Every problem I have ever had has been almost immediately resolved and often with some form of compensation. Reviewed on: 26th January 2022

Just really good

I use to use it every day and it made my life much easier, now using a different bank I now realise how good Barclays actually is Reviewed on: 26th January 2022

Was my main account for years but closed when I hit hardship

Unfortunately, I hit hard times around 15 months ago and Barclays basically closed my accounts as soon as I got a DMP in place, they’ve now accepted everything and have been sound since but initially had issues with them accidentally cancelled my over draft when I requested a decrease and then sent me £50 For the inconvenience however as a bank they blocked my account several times and I had a few issues since switching to a different bank I’ve realised how shocking Barclays are. Reviewed on: 25th January 2022

Reliable

Barclays is reliable, consistent, and efficient. I can transfer money between accounts in an instant! The app is very user-friendly and I’ve been using Barclays my entire adult life without a problem. Reviewed on: 25th January 2022

easy to use

been with barclays for about 30 years and never had a problem,reat easy to use app as well, Reviewed on: 23rd January 2022

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
