About this product

The Premier Current Account from Barclays has a wide range of benefits but does have specific income or savings eligibility criteria.

Premier customers can access a range of discounts, rewards and exclusive savings rates on bonds and ISAs. There’s also a team of Financial Guides on hand to help with key moments in life.

Premier Current Account reviews help you find out what it’s really like to be a customer. If you’ve used Barclays before, you can also leave a review and share your experience.

Review of the Barclays, Premier current account:

Shocking service - still - if you have Barclays Premier

1
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

Best Bank For Young People

Barclays Bank are an exceptional institution that provides fantastic tools to manage your money, in the most convenient way, when compared to other banks. Their Credit Builder card (which I have recently been accepted for), is a great way to start building credit as a student, if you have not had a credit card before. Highly recommended to my friends.

Have had excellent service on every occasion that I have needed to contact them, no matter how small the query has been. After all the problems that banks have had in recent times , the service that I have received really surprises me. Credit where it deserves it, is my motto. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2018
