Review of the Barclays, Premier current account:

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

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

Excellent delighted fast

Very happy customer . Smart app, rewards. Excellent A* service Reviewed on: 19th November 2019

Best local high street bank for me

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

Very glad

Amazing customer service Considering that everything is free. I am satisfied with overall product and customer experience Reviewed on: 4th February 2019

Excellent digital bank!

Over the past 12-24 months I have started to do more and more of my day to day banking through the Barclays mobile app. Everything I need is now available and so easy....I have not visited a branch or called the telephone number for a couple of years now. Reviewed on: 4th February 2019
