Barclays Current account reviews (4963)

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
