Barclays Current account reviews (4953)

Terrible!

Don’t use them - I’ve been with them for over 10 years and i’ve always had issues e.g over the phone, in bank, app, online etc and just don’t trust them anymore. I always know if I need something sorted, I need at least a full day free to sort it out! Reviewed on: 24th November 2019

Easy and Simple

Easy account opening, transparent service and helpful advice for the future of my finances. The only bank I'd ever consider. Reviewed on: 24th November 2019

Good but could improve

A great service and products available but shame the mortgage we had was so expensive and would like a branch locally again and more convenient opening hours. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2019

Money before people

Barclays could not care less about their customers, and a person I know almost commited suicide because of the constant overdraft charges driving him further into debt, here's a radical idea Barclays, instead of sending text messages informing people that you owe more money, why not offer to talk to them to see if you can help. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2019

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

Barclays Bank online banking and app

Both online banking and app are easy to use and have many features. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019
