Review of the Barclays, Premier current account:

Competent. But at a price.

Been with Barclays since I was a kid. Always had helfpul support from their staff, my most recent was regarding USD. I complained that they don't pay credit interest, and the women looked on line then suggested that I try a different one of the Big 4. I did and now am moving my USD a/c to Lloyds! The Premier a/c used to give free coffees at Cafe Nero. Last year my wife received a lovely tea set - tea pot, cups and a variety of teas. Their black debit card can be exchanged for one with a photo of your choice on it. Otherwise I see little value - even the cash point withdrawals are lmited by the machines rather than the card.

Good solid offering with great customer service

The premier account provides a solid current account offering with excellent customer service which is key in successfully fulfilling the needs of busy customers. The account perks are a small added bonus. Reviewed on: 11th January 2019

Best Banking App

The application is brilliant, which allows customers to access various useful products and services. Reviewed on: 7th January 2019

Barclays Mobile Banking App

The app is so easy to use. It's made my life much easier and I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to simplify their banking experience. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2019

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

Excellent Banking App by Barclays

Its an easy and good customer experience using the Barclays Bank mobile app. I can do everything from there that I need on my account without having to log in on a PC. Lots of good additions and tweaks made every so often to improve it Reviewed on: 11th December 2018

Barclays Bank App

I have bank accounts with all the major banks, but the Barclays app is by far the clearest and easiest to use. Very well designed and consistently reliable. I use it for the vast majority of my day-to-day banking. Reviewed on: 9th December 2018
