A disaster of a bank.

I am a small international business. I have been a Barclays business customer for over 12 years. Our transactions in different currencies are low volume, high value. Following a flurry of generic letters telling me an account I had applied for had not been successful - I hadn't applied for anything - I then lost access to two currency accounts despite calling the bank to try to understand what the letters concerning a 'client premium account' were about - I was told that other ...

Barclays Premier is excellent customer service

The Barclays premier service is very good, I can easily arrange a call back through the app and speak to a real UK based human for advice at any time. The rates aren't always the best but I retain the current account for this service as it's really invaluable. I also find the app really good compared to other banking apps.

Just brilliant service

I have used Barclays Premier Banking on a number of occasions in recent years. We have a home in the UK and also in County Mayo, Republic of Ireland. It is necessary to move money from my Irish account to my UK account and visa versa. If I have run into any issues, which I did today and had the need to call I have never once experienced anything but the very best service. The staff are very helpful and go the extra mile. Well Done!!! Reviewed on: 6th October 2023

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 o...
