Go to the Barclays login page and enter your username and password
The main Barclays login portal is at barclays.com. On the homepage, look for the "Log in" button in the top right corner. Click it, and you will see a field asking for your username or customer number and your password. Enter both and select "Log in".
If you have not yet set up online access to your Barclays credit card account, you will need to register first. You can do this from the same login page by selecting "Register" or "Enrol now". You will need your card number, sort code, and account number to complete registration.
Once you are logged in, your dashboard will show your available credit, recent transactions, and current balance. From here you can make payments, view statements, set up alerts, and manage your card settings.

- Two-factor authentication may be required on your first login or when you sign in from a new device.
What to do if you forget your password
Select "Forgot password?" on the Barclays login page. You will be asked to enter your username or customer number. Barclays will then send a password reset link to the email address or phone number registered with your account.
Click the link in the email or use the code sent by text message to create a new password. Your new password must be at least 8 characters long and include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and a special character. Once you have set your new password, you can log in normally.
Understanding two-factor authentication on your first login
The first time you log in, or when you sign in from a device Barclays does not recognize, you will be asked to verify your identity. This is called two-factor authentication. Barclays will send a one-time code to your registered phone number or email address.
Enter this code on the screen that appears. You will then have the option to mark the device as trusted, which means you will not need to verify again the next time you log in from that same device. If you do not receive the code, check your spam folder or request a new code.
How to make a payment from your online account
Once you are logged in, navigate to the "Payments" or "Make a payment" section. You can pay your full balance, the minimum payment, or a custom amount. Select the amount you want to pay and the date you want the payment to be taken from your bank account.
You will need to provide the bank account details you want to pay from. If you have already set up a payment account, you can select it from a list. Review the payment details carefully before confirming. Most payments take one to two working days to process.
How to read statements and view transaction history
Your statements and transaction history are available in the "Statements" or "Documents" section of your account. You can view transactions from the last few months on your dashboard, or read full statements as PDF files.
Statements are usually available within a few days of your statement date. You can read statements for the last several years. If you need a statement from longer ago, contact Barclays customer service to request it.
What to do if you cannot log in
If you see an error message or cannot access your account, first check that you are using the correct website: barclays.com. Make sure your username and password are spelled correctly, including capital letters. Passwords are case-sensitive.
If you have tried multiple times and still cannot log in, your account may be temporarily locked for security reasons. Wait 15 minutes and try again. If the problem continues, contact Barclays customer service by phone or through the contact options on their website. Have your card number and date of birth ready.
How to change your password and update security settings
Once you are logged in, go to "Settings" or "Security" in your account menu. You can change your password, update your registered phone number or email address, and manage which devices are trusted for login.
To change your password, select "Change password" and enter your current password, then your new password twice. Your new password must meet the same requirements as a reset password: at least 8 characters with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and a special character. You can also set up additional security questions or enable biometric login if your device supports it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Barclays login page find?
Yes. Barclays uses encryption to protect your login details and account information. The website address should always begin with "https://" (not "http://"), which means your connection is encrypted. Never log in from a public Wi-Fi network without a VPN, and always log out when you are finished, especially on a shared device.
Can I log in on my phone?
Yes. You can use the Barclays mobile app or log in through the website on your phone's browser. The mobile app is often faster and may offer additional features. You can read the Barclays app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
What if I registered but never received a confirmation email?
Check your spam or junk folder first. If the email is not there, go back to the login page and select "Resend confirmation email" or "Resend set up code". If you still do not receive it after 10 minutes, contact Barclays customer service to complete your registration manually.
Can I log in if I have multiple Barclays accounts?
Yes. You can register each account separately with its own username and password, or you may be able to link multiple accounts under one login. Log in with your first account, then look in settings for an option to add additional accounts. If you cannot find this option, contact Barclays to ask whether account linking is available for your account type.
What should I do if I think someone else has accessed my account?
Change your password when ready using the "Forgot password?" option. Then contact Barclays customer service by phone to report the suspected unauthorized access. They can review your account activity, lock your card if needed, and help you find your account. Have your card number and date of birth ready when you call.
