Review of the Barclays, Premier Current Account:

Good service

Good service, upgraded me to premier account, no complaints. Reviewed on: 17th June 2023

barclays interview when moving

My other half got grilled by barclays when we moved from London to Wales because they thought it was strange someone would do that. He had to have an interview with a manager. Reviewed on: 16th February 2016

Customer Service

As usual great customer service from the premier banking team, I recently lost my debit card - I was able to order a new one through the APP, it came in 3 days and the team called me me to check I'd received it. Reviewed on: 1st December 2015

Poor customer care

I have just changed mobile phones. The banking app would not allow me to re-register. I called the helpline. I was quite clear that I wanted to reactivate an existing registration as I was not in a position to create a new registration Guess what my registration was deleted and I have to make a new one but I can't as I don't have their card reader with me Well done Barclays well done ! Reviewed on: 3rd October 2015

Perks and app

The perks on offer and the app itself keep me pretty happy. I would like a bit more guidance at times - maybe a handy tips guide for managing my money. Reviewed on: 21st September 2015

Highly recommended account if you can get it

This really is a neat account with great online and mobile features which are important to me as I am on the go quite a bit. Reviewed on: 11th June 2015

Being on hold too long

I called Barclays while in the USA as my card was blocked from using ATM's. The problem is I was on hold for 8 minutes - on the premier line - the normal line I was on hold for 3 minutes? Reviewed on: 12th May 2015

friendly useful upscale

Good standard of employees, knowledgeable and with attention to detail in the Premier Banking Service. Could be a bit more flexible to accomodate customer timetable. Innovative and customer oriented account. Gives lots of extras and freebies. Reviewed on: 29th April 2015

more great ideas from Barclays

Just got an email from Barclays and in it was the fact they've launched an app called a digital driving licence to help people learn about tech and even learn some basic code - great idea Reviewed on: 10th February 2015
