Open Banking – sharing your data and making payments through other providers

How are we doing?

Since 2018, you’ve been able to share your Barclays data with other companies so that you can use their services and make payments through them. For example, you might want to share your Barclays data with a company that lets you operate all your accounts from one place. This is called ‘Open Banking’.

To make sure you’re getting the best service from us when you use Open Banking, we’ve put together the data below, which tells you how well we’re performing. It shows how fast our service has been and whether there have been times when it isn’t available.

The metrics shown below are for the period 01 January to 31 March.

Most of them compare our Open Banking services to our digital banking services. By ‘digital banking services’, we mean the Barclays app, Barclays Online Banking and Barclaycard Account Servicing.

Sometimes we plan outages so that we can release new features or carry out maintenance. We’ve included all the time our Open Banking service and digital banking services weren’t available in the graph, whether or not the outage was planned. We always let our customers know when we’ve planned outages and we give them details of other ways of doing their day-to-day banking.
