Personal, Premier and Wealth
To pay in cash at a branch, you’ll need to go to a self-service machine or counter.
You’ll need your debit card from us or a pre-printed paying-in slip. If you don’t have either of these when you visit us, talk to us and we’ll see how we can help.
This table explains what you’ll need to pay cash in, whether you have a personal, Premier or Wealth account with us, or if you don’t bank with us.

Cash deposit limits
From 1 July 2024, we’re introducing an annual limit of £20,000 to the amount of cash you can pay into your personal accounts. This limit will reset in January of each following year.
Even if you have more than one personal account with us, the total amount of cash you can pay in across all of them is still £20,000.
This limit includes any children’s savings accounts you have with us, but doesn’t include cash you’ve paid into any business accounts. You can also receive payments and cheques using your app or Online Banking.
How your cash deposits count towards your limit
When you pay in cash at one of our branch counters or self-service devices, it’ll count towards your overall cash deposit limit.
Any cash paid into your personal joint account counts towards the yearly cash deposit limit for each account holder.
There’s already a £10,000 cash deposit limit at the Post Office, which will still apply. When you pay in cash at a Post Office, it’ll count towards both your overall limit and your Post Office limit.
Checking your deposit balance
We’ll let you know when you’re near your cash deposit limit. For help setting up notifications, check our free alerts page.
You can also check your remaining limit balance using our our self-service devices, or talk to us in person, over the phone or by sending us a message in the app.
If you don’t bank with us
To pay money into a Barclays account, you can:
- Pay cash into your own bank, then use online, mobile or telephone banking to move money into a Barclays account
- Set up a standing order – your bank can help with this
- Open an account with us – then you can make payments by visiting us in person, over the phone, online or in our app.
