Review of the Barclays, Premier current account:

Competent. But at a price.

Been with Barclays since I was a kid. Always had helfpul support from their staff, my most recent was regarding USD. I complained that they don't pay credit interest, and the women looked on line then suggested that I try a different one of the Big 4. I did and now am moving my USD a/c to Lloyds! The Premier a/c used to give free coffees at Cafe Nero. Last year my wife received a lovely tea set - tea pot, cups and a variety of teas. Their black debit card can be exchanged for one with a photo of your choice on it. Otherwise I see little value - even the cash point withdrawals are lmited by the machines rather than the card.

An account that has grown with me from graduate to business founder.

Barclays never give me a reason to grumble. I find their call centre staff excellent and online tools easy-to-use. I am really happy with the perks that I get from my account and they have always provided excellent advice and support. Everything from managing an overdraft as a student to commercial business services now, as a business owner. I highly recommend! Reviewed on: 20th October 2014

I changed to a premier account in August 2014. The change was easy, it didn't cost anything and I now receive first class, personalised service from my bank. It's great. Reviewed on: 2nd October 2014
