Barclays were easy to set up an account with. Staff have always been friendly and helpful. The app is easy to use and makes everyday banking so simple. I now do most of my banking via the app and I feel I am better in control of my spending since I transferred banks. Reviewed on: 21st November 2019

Barclays have been pretty good over the years I have been with them, bearing in mind I did not choose them for my banking, but was transferred when the Woolwich was taken over by Barclays. They are usually quick to resolve any issues, and their banking app is reliable and easy to use. Reviewed on: 21st November 2019

it's a bank, it works, they update regularly
