Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Best high street banking app

The barclays app is the most user friendly out there and the features available are those which cannot be matched at the moment. Further their savings rates remain competitive Reviewed on: 4th June 2024

Barclays

Fantastic customer service in branch and on the phone. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2020

Helpful online banking services

I was a bit skeptical about the online banking facility at Barclays, but it has been really good. The security with the separate code checker is helpful and I can really track and manage my money. It's a stable site too. I'm so glad asa few branches local to me have closed. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Easy to manage

My barclays account is great. I can view my balance from almost anywhere using the app. Can’t fault it Reviewed on: 14th January 2020

Closest to a challenger bank!

I have been a Barclays customer for all of my life. Recently took up starling, monzo and all of the other challenger banks and I would say Barclays is most comparable. The only things Barclays needs to get is instant notifications, creating pots, rounding up, direct debit notifications before a direct debit goes out and no fees/fixed small fee for foreign transactions. Otherwise the UX/UI is great and continuously improving, it’s quick and easy to use. I think Barclays have taken the right path in developing its current product unlike NatWest or the other banks who have launched standalone challenger banks like Bó or Mettle. Keep doing what you’re doing and add the benefits challenger banks give you and you have a customer for life! Reviewed on: 13th January 2020
