Question 1 of 8 about Making and receiving international payments

How do I receive money from abroad?

Before you can receive an international payment, you'll need to give the sender some details, including

Your International Bank Account Number (IBAN) – it's on your statement, or you can generate the IBAN for your Barclays account using the IBAN tool
Barclays SWIFT code. For Barclays UK, this code is BUKBGB22
Your sort code and account number – unless you’ve provided your IBAN
Your full name
Your address
The amount and the currency you’d like to receive the payment in

If the payment is coming from outside the EEA, you'll also need to agree with the sender who's going to pay the charges.

SEPA credit transfer

To receive a SEPA credit transfer, you'll need to give the sender an IBAN. You can find this on your statement, or generate an IBAN using our IBAN tool.

Payments in US dollars

You might be asked to provide the details of who Barclays UK banks with in the USA, including the ABA code 026002574. This is equivalent to a UK sort code and is also known as the Fed Wire number. Barclays Bank UK’s PLC USD account is held with Barclays Bank PLC, New York.
