When I went bankrupt, they where the only bank to offer me an account and to be honest, I have always had a good banking relationship with Barclays.I have never had a problem with them and the cashcard account is wonderful.

I am not happy having a Cash Card account because of the limited nature of its services.
I am even reluctant to tell colleagues that i have a bank account.Its suitable for school going kids.

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.
