Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Easy to open an account

I was a UK resident but not citizen recently arrived in the UK. I went to several banks to open an account but found them uninterested and unhelpful, except Barclays. Several years later I am still with them. Reviewed on: 15th February 2016

Best of the Best

Whilst other apps go almost all the way, the Barclays Bank App gets all our accounts in one place and allows transfers between accounts to be made in a second. Paying new contacts is easy even for a technophobe and being able to see all your accounts in one place is fabulous. A great all round product - excellent. Reviewed on: 5th February 2019
