Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Current account

Easy to use mobile app which I love as it helps me keep an eye on my account. Love the personalised card option. Reward scheme option for insurance or mortgage etc where you get a cash sum for having such. Great customer service if they suspect a discrepancy / unusual movement on your spending they ring or msg to confirm its legit . Cant fault it ! Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Bank? What bank??

They've closed almost every branch and have removed the cash bonus on the blue rewards . When you try and do any in person banking you have to find a "pop-up" and 9 times out of 10 you just get told to go and do it online Reviewed on: 31st August 2024

Banking needs reform,

Banking needs reform, many banks are going online and ditching bricks and mortar access. I say let the over paid managers be replaced with software too. Reviewed on: 25th August 2024

Decent enough bank

I've been with them a long time and have found my account easy to use & access whenever I need to. There are no benefits along with my account though as well as no overdraft which makes it difficult to beat other account providers Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Great products

Been a customer for 17 years and they have recently closed my local branch without informing me. I had a problem with the online banking app so phoned customer services. The person only liked the sound of own voice and didn’t really listen to what I had to say. I in particular don’t like that I couldn’t go to my branch to sort out this issue! It’s utterly disgusting!! Reviewed on: 14th August 2024

Out in the cold....

Barclays are about to scrap their Blue Rewards scheme and replace it by a deal with Apple that needs an App and I don't have a smart phone. So I so-called improvement completely bypasses me as a customer since 1969 Reviewed on: 1st August 2024
