Bankes was moved into Select Group 1 ahead of the 2019–20 campaign after joining Select Group 2 three seasons prior.[4] On 31 August 2019, Bankes refereed his first Premier League game between Leicester City and AFC Bournemouth and issued a total of four yellow cards throughout the game.[5] On 22 February 2020, Bankes showed his first Premier League red card to Newcastle United player Valentino Lazaro after he fouled Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha, who was through on goal.[6]

On 7 December 2020, Bankes, who was the VAR official, overturned a decision by on-field referee David Coote and gave a penalty after judging that Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters had been fouled inside the box by Brighton player Solly March, but the penalty was controversial as the foul started outside the box.[7]
