What to do if Barclays is not working
- Never retry a payment or transfer repeatedly. Check your balance and activity in Barclays first, because pending transactions may already have gone through.
- Banking apps often go down for scheduled maintenance late at night and on weekends. Check Barclays's website or social accounts for notices.
- Update the Barclays app. Banks often block old app versions.
- If you can't log in, use the phone number on the back of your card. Never use a number from a search ad or a social media reply.
- Watch for scam messages that claim to be from Barclays during outages. Barclays will not ask for your password or one-time codes.
- Turn off VPNs when using Barclays. Banks often block logins from unfamiliar locations.
Barclays outage FAQ
Is Barclays down for everyone, or just me?
Look at the status at the top of this page. We connect to barclays.co.uk directly from our servers, so if our check works but Barclays doesn't work for you, the problem is more likely your device, network or account. If our check fails, or reports have jumped in the last hour, Barclays is probably having a wider outage.
Why does this page say Barclays is up when it isn't working for me?
Our check confirms that barclays.co.uk is reachable and responding. An outage can still affect only part of Barclays, such as logging in, the mobile app or a single feature, or only some regions. That's why visitor reports matter: when many people report problems at once, we flag Barclays as having problems even if the website loads.
How often do you check Barclays?
We check Barclays automatically several times a day, and again whenever someone opens this page and our last check is more than a few minutes old.
How do I report a Barclays outage?
Use "Report a problem" on this page to tell us what isn't working. Reports are anonymous: we don't store your IP address, only a one-way code that stops the same person reporting many times, plus your country.
