Barclays Premier current account reviews (102)

Highly recommended account if you can get it

This really is a neat account with great online and mobile features which are important to me as I am on the go quite a bit. Reviewed on: 11th June 2015

Being on hold too long

I called Barclays while in the USA as my card was blocked from using ATM's. The problem is I was on hold for 8 minutes - on the premier line - the normal line I was on hold for 3 minutes? Reviewed on: 12th May 2015

friendly useful upscale

Good standard of employees, knowledgeable and with attention to detail in the Premier Banking Service. Could be a bit more flexible to accomodate customer timetable. Innovative and customer oriented account. Gives lots of extras and freebies. Reviewed on: 29th April 2015

more great ideas from Barclays

Just got an email from Barclays and in it was the fact they've launched an app called a digital driving licence to help people learn about tech and even learn some basic code - great idea Reviewed on: 10th February 2015

This is an amazing account and I love every aspect of it, Barclays customer service is second to none!

Barclays customer service is second to none, I have been a customer for twenty years through good times and bad and they have been amazing throughout, I would recommend Barclays to anyone wanting great products and service, Infact I'm always spreading the word and telling people to join Barclays! #Bestbankever! Reviewed on: 1st February 2015

The service which I receive is proactive, efficient and great value.

Well done to Barclays Premier for its provision of a great service tailored to the needs of its customers. The online banking facility is excellent. Reviewed on: 25th December 2014

just awful

My experience of Barclays Premier is that there is absolutely nothing premier about it! In fact they couldn't care less about customer service. Bank somewhere else! Reviewed on: 22nd December 2014

awful

Barclays fraud department has consistently blocked my card whilst I attempted to make legitimate purchases. The last one was £6.45 at Sainsbury's! When I eventually got to speak to someone, following having the pleasure of waiting for 32mins, I was told I would receive no compensation! I reminded the this was twice in 2hours and I had been a customer for over 20years which was of no interest to them whatsoever - my response... Account closed next working day! Reviewed on: 22nd December 2014

Replacement Debit Card

Last weekend I misplaced my debit card, I say I lost it, but it was last seen in the hands of my four year old!!! Through my Barclays Mobile APP I was able to report the card lost, cancel it and order a new one in less than a minute. The new card arrived with me within 3 working days. Really easy, really useful, excellent service. Reviewed on: 24th November 2014

on the phone excellent service, great feddback, great time Reviewed on: 24th October 2014
