Barclays Premier Current Account reviews (101)

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

Happy Customer

I can’t fault Barclays premier banking. Whether I’m using the app, online or phone banking or talking to my relationship manger I’m always impressed it all works brilliantly. Reviewed on: 28th March 2021

Trusted since childhood ..

I've banked with Barclays since I was a teen , that's a long time. I cant say I've had any issues , and I find the Premier service to be great. I use the online app almost every day and it is really good. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Good Service

Good service and the odd bottle of free wine Reviewed on: 24th November 2019

Amazing attention to detail

Nothing is ever a problem. Monthly calls to check they are doing everything they can to help. They phoned me today to let me know if I transferred my savings to a different type of account I could gain more interest! I already have my savings with them!! Reviewed on: 20th November 2019
