It only took about 4 days for the visa debt card to arrive and i get statements thought the post every month. The customer service is very very good for a bank of it's size and I can not rate this account highly enough. For people who want a basic account with no chance... (read more)

Written on: 02/10/2009

I opened a Cash Account in October 2008 when I went on a Debt Management Plan and I have to admit it was a nightmare to get the account open and I waited around 6wks to receive my card.
I am now filing for bankruptcy and Barclays have bent over backwards to be helpful and have said they can open a second cash card account for me 'while I wait' as soon as I have filed my papers with the court just incase the Official Receiver freezes my main account.
After the initial lengthy delay in... (read more)

The Barclays Cash Card Bank Account is terrible! I would recommend you just keep your money under a mattress rather than taking this account. (read more)

I had a current account with Barclays from 2001 to 2004 and now closed. I have moved to HSBC. The reason being: long queues, poor customer service, poor credit rating computer system.
<br>
<br>My advise: goto HSBC which provides excellent customer support and high interest rates.
