What the app can do
Make payments
Pay in a cheque
Pay in cheques to your current account using the app and your smartphone’s camera. Just tell us the amount and payee details, take a photo of the cheque, tap 'Submit' and the money will be in your account by the next working day1.
International payments
Send money overseas in 7 different currencies. Simply tap ‘Pay & Transfers’ at the bottom of the app, then select who you’re paying and when.
Contactless mobile payments
Use your Android and Apple mobile for contactless payments by connecting them to your card.
Spend in Euros and US Dollars
Create a ‘Travel Wallet’ in your app and spend both Euros and US dollars straight from your debit card. You’ll lock in an exchange rate and won’t pay fees when making purchases or withdrawing cash abroad in the local currency2. Plus, any unused currency can be exchanged back into British Pounds, ready for you to spend in your account – so no more wasted change.

Forgotten your pin or don't have your debit card on you? No problem. With the Barclays app you can get a quick and secure reminder.

You can freeze your card while you look for it. From the home screen go to ‘Quick links’ and select ‘Your cards’, then tap ‘Temporary freeze’.
Chose your merchants
Stop your card from being used with certain types of retailers such as gambling or premium-rate websites and phone lines.
Going abroad?
