Your exclusive benefit
Get investing with discounted Smart Investor fees
Interest rates on savings and current accounts are struggling to keep up with record inflation, leaving many people worried about how they can maintain the spending power of their money.
Investments have the potential to produce higher returns over the longer term, which can help maintain that spending power – though we know many people worry that investing is complex and expensive.
The value of investments can fall as well as rise. You may not get back what you invest.
Make investing simple with Smart Investor
Smart Investor is our award-winning DIY investment platform designed for both experienced and novice investors.
We provide the tools, helpful insights and research resources, to help you get started with investing and building a portfolio of investments.
Discounted pricing for you
As part of our relationship with your organisation, we're offering you access to exclusive preferential pricing.
If you take this offer, for the next three years, your monthly customer fee will be based on the end-of-the-day value of your investments, instead of a flat £4.
This means you’ll be able to access all the benefits of Smart Investor at an even lower price than our usual competitive pricing schedule.
Representative example

Open your account
We’ve got three types of account.
Choose the one you want to start with – you can always open another one later on.
Investment Account
A flexible account if you’ve already used your ISA allowance for the current tax year OR you’re already paying into an ISA with another provider.
SIPP Account
Designed to help you prepare for retirement.
You may have to pay tax when you come to withdraw money from your pension and tax rules can change in future. The way this affects you will depend on your individual circumstances.
If you are employed by an organisation with which Barclays has a corporate client relationship, then our services don’t form part of your remuneration package from your employer. The availability of our services via our bankers visiting your employer’s workplace isn’t funded by your employer and whether you take up our services is at your sole discretion and shouldn’t be considered to be a taxable employee benefit.
