How does Plan & Invest work?
We'll invest for you
Our experts will select and manage your investments for you. They'll monitor them regularly and make adjustments if they think they're needed.
Leave it to us
You can keep an eye on your investments whenever you want in Online Banking or the Barclays app.
And we'll check in with you once a year to see if anything's changed in case your Plan needs updating.
Remember the value of investments can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invest. On this page we’ll help you understand if Plan & Invest is right for you and how it works. After reading this, if you’re not sure if this service is right for you, you should seek independent advice.
Enjoy £100 cashback

Other things to know
Investing is best suited for long term goals so you should be willing to invest for a minimum of five years but you can access your money at any time if you need to. However, losses are more likely if you sell your investments early because you may not have time to recover from a downturn in the stock markets.
Available to Barclays current account holders.
To use Plan & Invest you must be over 18, a UK tax resident and not a US person.
