The Barclays app features
What can your app do?
If you’re using the basic version of the Barclays app1, you won’t be able to use all of its features. Please upgrade to the most recent version using your PINsentry. If you’re a Business or Wealth customer (including those in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man), you won’t have access to all the app’s features. Find out more about the Barclays app for Business and Wealth.

Travelling abroad
Protect your card both at home and away. You can restrict card payments made when abroad to protect you both home and away.
