Current account. Does the job. I can pay things in and pay things out. I can set up the usual Direct Debits and Standing Orders. Online works fine. At least this is free unlike their previous packaged bank accounts. Plus Sides - its does work as a current account. Down Sides - good luck trying to find a branch of their bank if you live outside of a BIG city. They have closed so many branches now I have to pay for a bus to reach my branch. If I have a cheque to pay in worth £5 it costs me more in bus fares than the cheque is worth. Cheers Barclays. Reviewed on: 16th April 2019

I understand that the bank needs to be sure of whom they're rendering services to but, they need to be a little more careful with how they interrogate new intending customers so as not to make them feel insecure. Reviewed on: 25th March 2019
