Keeping you up-to-date

We’re committed to inclusive design and accessible services – using new technology to make banking easier for you.

Our debit and credit cards have a contactless-payment feature. This lets you make payments under £30 by just tapping your card on a contactless reader, without having to enter the card PIN or provide your signature.
You can link your Barclays debit card or Barclaycard to your Android device and use it whenever you see the contactless symbol.

You can also make payments from £30 to £100 by holding your mobile on the card reader, entering your normal card PIN into the device , then holding it over the reader again.
