Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Barclays customer for 59 years & love their security..

Been using Barclays for nearly 60 years had their ups & downs but I continue because I believe their banking security keeps up with the times... Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Good but Unsatisfied

Overall experience with Barclays since 2015 has been great but there’s room for improvement in dealing with low income earners. An account of over a decade should not be close because a customer informed the bank of their current life challenges. Reviewed on: 14th June 2025

barclays has been good.

barclays has been good. have used them for years both home and abroad. i had an issue with a payment bouncing but they told me straight away so i was able to amend the problem by transferring more money in. it is so easy to transfer money between accounts and to others Reviewed on: 12th June 2025

Brilliant bank and app easy to use

I’ve been with Barclays for many many years now, and they have always been a great bank to be with. The app is so easy to use to transfer or just check your account balance. I won’t be changing to any other bank as it’s always been great and very good customer service too. Reviewed on: 12th June 2025

Problem Solver's

Used them for years and never had an issue until I needed help and they were not helpful and made it very hard to resolve Reviewed on: 17th April 2025

Barclays my hard card

I’m so happy to use every day this . It’s safety to paid online and to make transfer or everything else. Reviewed on: 16th April 2025

Overall, I'm happy with the service that I receive from Barclays and using them for my current account is a breeze. Reviewed on: 14th April 2025

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.
