Review of the Barclays, Premier Current Account:

Barclays Premier is excellent customer service

5
The Barclays premier service is very good, I can easily arrange a call back through the app and speak to a real UK based human for advice at any time. The rates aren't always the best but I retain the current account for this service as it's really invaluable. I also find the app really good compared to other banking apps.

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

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

Best local high street bank for me

5
One of the best high street bank, have never fault the service nor have i had any issues. Compared to most people who like to complain just for the sake of it. Especially the Mobile Banking functions, can choose to open accounts with just a tap which is very convenient! Reviewed on: 5th February 2019
