Review of the Barclays, Premier current account:

Very happy but a little guilty

We have taken up premier banking when offered to us. However, I feel really quite guilty in terms of being offered to be first in the queue if we call. What is this about? We are really happy with Barclays but this seems injust. Reviewed on: 11th February 2018

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

Service with a smile

Fantastic UK call centre staff who are genuinely helpful and make the time to help me Reviewed on: 26th January 2019

Easy, secure and always there when I need it.

I've been using the app from the day it was launched and it's never ever let me down. Gets more and more features but still remains simple to use. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2019
