Overseas payments

Our overseas payments service makes it easier to send money abroad, whether you want to make a simple one-off payment, or have more complex financial needs.

We all know that exchange rates fluctuate which means that you can never be certain what the sterling value of your overseas payment is going to be. If you wish to send money abroad and want to remove this uncertainty we may have the solution.

Main features:

  • fee – free* payments from your Barclays UK current account to your Barclays account in another qualifying country
  • transfer up to £500,000 overseas in a single payment
  • less paperwork – register once for all your payments
  • just a phone call away
  • A range of payment options including spot payments, regular payments and forward contracts to suit your needs
