Barclays Current account reviews (4875)

a pretty average uninspiring bank

2
Barclays bank is typical of most banks, they do not know me from adam, even though I am a so called premier customer, all they are bothered about is making money, they are reasonably efficient at that. I used to know my bank Manager and could go and talk to him, not any more, alas. They make it difficult to talk to staff and when they do it's in a foreign country. Reviewed on: 29th January 2020

Very happy with the service

5
Barclays App is very useful and simple! Always I had a great service Reviewed on: 29th January 2020

Safe

4
My number one priority when choosing a bank - is my money safe. If Barclays has proved something to me it's that my money is safe. Additionally any problems I've had with the bank have been sorted no more than 24-hours after I've complained. The maintenance notification is also very helpful. Reviewed on: 29th January 2020

Best bank

Easy access, resilient, great rewards

Have been using the current account for almost a decade and never had a problem. The app offers all the services I need and it's easy to access and manage my account. Reviewed on: 29th January 2020

SERVICE REVIEW SO FAR

4
Seems to operate on line but admin is a nightmare to get names added or taken away = 6 months of hassle to get sorted many reported. BUT when established seems OK so far! Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Mobile App is second to none!

5
Barclays Mobile App is the best I have seen in the market with lots more features than most others.. I can see all my accounts, loan, credit card and mortgage all in one place. I also love that I can personalise the picture on my debit card and block or limit my card use in the app. Reviewed on: 27th January 2020

I would like more notifications (push)
