Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Always efficient

I have been banking with them since 1971. I always check my statements but have never found a mistake yet. Their systems work. What more could you ask for. Reviewed on: 25th November 2019

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.

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

Bloody. Genocide supporter. Profits from dead Palestinian children. Shameful. Reviewed on: 11th April 2025

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.
