Cesspit

pathetic costumer service and no reason to have this account whatsoever Reviewed on: 16th December 2022

Not worth the paper it's written on

Premier used to be a great service, but Barclays have gradually cut the benefits to virtually zero. All you get now is a black debit card, a higher cash withdrawal limit and a free £500 overdraft. Oh, and UK call centres. Reviewed on: 19th August 2022

Shocking service - still - if you have Barclays Premier

They make a song and dance about their 'Premier Banking' service. Might as well walk to a bank instead of calling them given it takes so long for someone to pick up. They love to block random payments. They also apparently charge people for Premier Banking when they have less than X amount with Barclays or their salary payments are less than Y. I can't imagine ever paying for this service. No perks either, which you get elsewhere. I'll be moving soon. Reviewed on: 18th July 2022

New charges from Seotember 2022

I never signed up for a Premier current account.I earn 27p per month on my cash is paying 0.05% so object to a monthly charge of 20 pounds Reviewed on: 30th April 2022

Good clear trustworthy banking

I have been a happy customer for 30 years. Any correspondence is clear and relevant. The mobile app is regularly updated to include more services. I appreciate the rewards scheme too. Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

Great people no rewards

My personal banker is amazing but after the rewards system changed there is hardly any incentive to stay Reviewed on: 21st January 2022
