Review of the Barclays, Current Account:

No problem banking

I've been with Barclays since I was a child. My parents banked with them too and there has never been a problem. Whatever has happened in our lives, if we have needed their help it has been provided. Even during the most difficult times of bereavement, they have taken all the stress and worry away and dealt with everything for us. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

Disappointing for loyal customers

If you're looking for a current account that gives you something back, Barclays might disappoint. The standard account pays no interest on your balance, which makes it feel like your money is just sitting there doing nothing. For a traditional bank, you'd expect a bit more in return for your loyalty. Overall, it’s a bare-bones account with very little incentive to stick around if you're after interest or added value.

My experience of using Barclays is good enough.

My experience of using Barclays is good enough. The thing that bothers me the most is creating an account on barclays. OmG it was comparatively time taking and messy. I mean why this bank has so many doubts. Other banks also create accounts for you but they dont take this much time. Otherwise this is a good banking service. I love the most is the card, the cards are luxurious , stylish and pretty. Reviewed on: 11th April 2025

Bloody Genocide Bank

Barclays do not put their customers first.

Barclays do not put their customers first. They are unethical its approach to climate change, habitats and resources, animal rights, human rights, workers’ rights, arms and military supply, political activities, anti-social finance, tax conduct, and being the target of a boycott call.

I was having problems with an ex's debts and needed to shut down my old bank account and transfer everything to Barclays. They took me on even though they knew i was in debt and did everything for me. I was never made to feel awkward or embarrassed. Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Always Helpful

Have always been able to help and always been courteous Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Outdated and ineffective

It took 15 months of forms, calls, branch visits and finally legal intervention to retreive funds which Barclays had held on to after coding a "dormant" account. My family and I were thwarted at every turn by poor communication, ill trained staff, teams buried within the bowels of the bank's centralised structure and just plain apathy or hostility from frontine staff at branches. A truly sick and ineffective relic of an institution. Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025
