Currently with Barclays Premier

jinkster

I am currently with Barclays Premier. Paying £25 a month for travel insurance, gadget insurance, car breakdown cover and the concierge service and airport lounge access - other benefits I do not use.

I like the idea of a premier account but who should I move to. Salary in the region of £55,000.

You won't get their top account earning 55k a year you'll need to earn 75k plus or have 50k saved within Barclays.
You have the premier life that anyone can have.

Why do you want to move?
What are you looking for in an account?

Barclays had a lot of scandal recently. Also changed alot of features in the account.

Barclaycard recently annoyed me - basically took the direct debit out and never paid it back to me when i ask after all I had paid the balance off.

Any suggestions I can try?

You could open the HSBC premier account. HSBC Premier is available without a monthly fee if you meet certain financial eligibility criteria.

You have savings or investments of at least £50,000 with HSBC in the UK. We request that your main income is paid into your HSBC Premier Bank Account;
You have an individual annual income of at least £100,000 paid into your HSBC Premier Bank Account and either:

1. a mortgage(s) of at least £300,000 with HSBC in the UK
2. a product taken out through our independent financial advisory service, excluding mortgage-related insurance;

You qualify for HSBC Premier in another country

Coop do a premier type account for a fee of around £12. No eligibility requirement. I do question the need for a premier account per se. Your salary whilst good is small fry to a bank. Hence for most 'real' premier accounts you will not meet their eligibility criteria.

Premier life is now closed to new customers
