We’re receiving a high number of calls at the moment, which means it might take longer than we'd like for you to get through.

To help us support those who are in most urgent need, please check if our help centre has the information you need before calling us.

We know waiting to get through can be frustrating, and we're trying to help people as quickly as we can. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Apple user? Talk to us on Apple messages. Our genuine account has a black tick - so to make sure it's us you are talking to click on the 'l' next to our name and you'll see a verified tick and our official website 'barclays.co.uk'.
