Changes to your account services
From 9 October 2025, we’re making changes to some of our foreign currency services. Find out more about what’s changing and your alternative options.
What’s changing and why?
From 9 October, you’ll no longer be able to:
- Buy or sell foreign currency using your sterling current account with us
- Withdraw or pay foreign currency cash into your currency account.
This is because most foreign currency payments are now digital, making them more secure. Your currency account terms and conditions will be updated from 9 October – you can find them below.
Other ways to pay when you travel abroad
Use your debit card abroad
You can use your debit card to withdraw cash and make payments while you’re abroad. You’ll be charged a non-sterling transaction fee of 2.99%, or 2.75% if you’re with Business Banking.
Buy currency with our travel wallet
If you have a current account with us, you can buy euros or dollars to spend on your debit card with our travel wallet service, giving you control over when you exchange money.
Use other providers
If you need to travel with cash, you can use your Barclays debit card to buy currency from a foreign currency exchange service or the Post Office.
Other ways to make foreign currency payments
There are other ways to make payments from your foreign currency account.
Visit one of our branches
If you have a Premier, personal or Business Banking account with us, you can use our international payments service at one of our branches.
Pay with Telephone Banking
If you have a Premier, Wealth or Business Banking account with us, you can make international payments using Telephone Banking.
Foreign currency account terms and conditions
These updated terms and conditions will be effective from 9 October. Until then, please see your existing terms and conditions.
