Barclays Current account reviews (4871)

Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Misappropriation of customers' money

Barclays closed our business account due to ‘inactivity’ in mid-January 2022 with a substantial amount of money on it. Two months later we are still being ping-ponged between various departments of Barclays without even being able to file a formal complaint. The best what Barclays have been able to offer us is that perhaps in another 12 weeks their Dormancy team would get in touch with us. In the meanwhile, we cannot use our money to pay our bills and Barclays are using it for free, which is a misappropriation of customers, assets, or, simply said, theft. We would never use Barclays again and would caution anyone who would like to bank with Barclays to think twice. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2022

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

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.
