Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Best high street banking app

5
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

customer service

welcome the fact that cheques clear quicker now Reviewed on: 23rd November 2019

Quick to deal with fraud

I had my bank card cloned and money removed 2 weeks before my holiday. Barclays worked tirelessly and efficiently to make sure that money was back in my account so that our holiday wasn't ruined Reviewed on: 23rd November 2019

Very Responsive

Barclays are trying to be a good bank and they have introduced a fee account, Blue Rewards. It is surprising how quickly they mount up. The current account does not pay any interest, but they do have a range of saving accounts that pay interest. I feel secure when using their online banking and most transactions are quick and easy to complete. If you have a problem on the account, they are quick to respond by phoning you on the numbers your have given. If querying something online, they respond within a matter of days. There is a high street presence, which is also useful. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2019

Could do better

No real problems but no shining star Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

Would have been 5/5 but...

I rarely go to any branch, but had to go to the Dereham Branch today. The service was not particularly customer friendly. Perhaps they need to go on a course? Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019
