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.

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.

    Bloody. Genocide supporter. Profits from dead Palestinian children. Shameful.

    Good Rates, But a Bit Old-School

Barclays’ Cash ISA offers solid interest rates, which is definitely a plus. However, the whole setup feels a bit outdated. The rules around deposits, withdrawals, and how the ISA works in general aren’t the most intuitive — you really need to read the fine print to avoid surprises. It’s a good product if you’re looking for a safe savings option, but be prepared to deal with a more traditional and somewhat rigid system. Read more Read less

Been diagnosed with cancer and had to cancel our trip. Dil, the advisor on the phone could not have been more helpful. I unfortunately put the phone down before doing their survey so wanted to write how great they have been somewhere. He took all the details, our holiday provider refunded 70% so needed the other 30%. All sorted and money back in our account in 2 days. Thank you Dil for being so understanding. Read more Read less
