Review of the Barclays, Premier current account:

ok for some

ok so I have a Barclays Premier account which I have been ok with once I took advantage of the mobile and gadget insurance, RAC cover and travel insurance. Unfortunately they keep changing what is covered and how much it costs and it is now becoming expensive for what it is. I had the travel pack extra as I was going on holiday and wanted to make use of their Dragon pass which allows access to a lounge with food and drink available. On arrival at Manchester airport however both of the lounges were full and we weren't allowed in. On our return flight from Crete was a joke as the lounge wasn't even open! I tried to contact Barclays on my return to complain about this and reduce my package to the basic one, the man on the phone was less than helpful, told me I could change it but their system was down and I would have to phone back another time, he didn't even acknowledge the problem I had at the airports. In the New year I will be reviewing this premier account to see if it would be cheaper to have separate insurances separately and then change my account. Reviewed on: 24th December 2016

Great customer service and convenience

Our bank manager is Mike Hall, and he is the primary reason we've stayed at Barclays over the years. I like the convenience of having everything under one roof - the Barclays banking app give you a easy way to view what is happening across the various accounts. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2019

Great digitally focussed High Street bank

Moved to Barclays just under a year ago and the whole banking experience has been flawless. I work within IT & IT Security and I can honestly say that the Barclays App and the work that they do in the community (Digital Eagles / Info Security) is first rate. Reviewed on: 2nd January 2019
