Overview
- Customers must begin a full current-account switch via the Barclays app by Thursday, May 28 to qualify for the £200 payment, with a one working-day concession if technical problems prevent a start on that day.
- The switch must use the Current Account Switch Service and close the old account while adding at least two direct debits to the new Barclays Bank Account.
- You must complete the switch within 30 days of opening the new account and deposit at least £2,000 into it during that same 30-day window.
- Barclays will verify eligibility and send a text when checks are complete, then credit the £200 within 45 working days without customers needing to contact the bank.
- The offer is for sole-name Barclays Bank Accounts from non-Barclays accounts, excludes Basic Bank Accounts and customers who have previously received a Barclays switching incentive, and reflects a common tactic by banks to attract active account users.
