3 steps to get the most from your account

  • Get set up online

    Download our app

    Manage your money whenever, wherever and however you want with our award-winning Barclays Mobile Banking app1. You can check your balance and transactions, make payments, temporarily freeze your card and more – all safely and securely with our Online and Mobile Banking guarantee.

    Our app has also been accredited by AbilityNet for its accessibility features and disability-friendly design.

    Register for Online Banking

    With Online Banking, you can securely check your balance, view statements, transfer money, make payments and more from the comfort of your own home.

    What you need to register

    • Your Barclays debit card
    • Your email address
  • Set up income and payments

    Get access to more products by paying money in and out

    Receiving regular income into your account, like your salary, gives us a better understanding of your finances. You just need to tell your employer your new account number and sort code, which you can find on the front of your debit card.

    Paying money out of your account, such as Direct Debits or standing orders, shows us you’re actively using your account, which could then help give you access to a wider range of products.

    Making us your main bank

    If you have another current account elsewhere, we’d love for you to choose us as your main bank. You can switch your main account to us quickly and easily using the current account switch service. Just visit your local branch and we’ll do the rest.
