Barclays Current account reviews (4920)

Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Easy to open an account

I was a UK resident but not citizen recently arrived in the UK. I went to several banks to open an account but found them uninterested and unhelpful, except Barclays. Several years later I am still with them. Reviewed on: 15th February 2016

Top Job when you need them just ask

Always there to help in good times and bad, 27 years of personal banking mostly positive Reviewed on: 17th February 2021

Superb Service

The app is excellent, reliable and if you need help you can ring via the app to a agent who will assist you. I recently stopped a direct debit and it was painless. I particularly love the way you can now pay a cheque into your account simply using the app and it takes a picture. money is transferred instantly. banking services have come a long way in my lifetime and Barclays seem to be at the fore front of change for the better. Barclays customer for 30 years Reviewed on: 17th February 2021

When a huge bank performs like a start-up you get Barclays

Incredible features using the Android app. Simply the safest bank to deal with because they perform like a start-up and give you the assurance of a big bank. Incredibly highly recommended. Reviewed on: 15th February 2021

Brought for a friend

This is my main account, and have no problems with them Reviewed on: 15th February 2021

Student Overdraft AMAZING!!

I had to give Barclays this review because it wasn't for the student additions account (overdraft) I would have been so STRESSED. Though it's not ideal to be living on your overdraft it helps when you don't have to worry about interest rates for a long while. Definitely recommend this account for students that have an average income. Reviewed on: 15th February 2021

Bad service, lots of fraud

Every issue takes over an hour to sort on the phone, the peolle on live chat are incompetent. I've had people from barclays I can't use a switch servicing to leave them or that I can't transfer my isa away. They were wrong both times. Had 5 new debit cards in 1 Yr due to details being stolen. One occasion my details were stolen before I had even opened the new card they had sent out. No investigation, communication or apology. All round bad Reviewed on: 12th February 2021
