To qualify for the account, you need to have a gross annual income of £75,000 or more and hold at least £100,000 in savings or investments with Barclays.
Getting a Premier Account means you can access extra benefits like luxury overnight hotel stays, annual entertainment passes or access to live events.

Unlike most premium bank accounts, there is no monthly fee.
To get the switch bonus, you need to complete a full switch which includes moving over two or more active direct debits.
You’ll also need to pay in at least £4,000 within 30 days of opening the account.

Make sure you meet the terms and conditions to get the bonus.
You’ll need to be 18 or over, a UK resident and a new customer.
You won’t be eligible if you’ve previously received a switching bonus from Barclays.
However you’ll still be counted as a new customer if you’ve got a Barclaycard, mortgage or savings account with Barclays.
You will need to delete the Barclays app from your device, then reinstall it and register as a new customer to apply for a Barclays Bank Account.
You then need to wait up to 48 hours for your new account to appear in the app.
Your bank switch needs to be done through the Current Account Switch Service.
This is a free service that lets you switch your current account from one bank or building society to another.
Everything is done for you, so all your incoming and outgoing payments will be moved across to your new Barclays bank account within seven working days.
This includes your salary, benefits, direct debits, standing orders and bills.
