Access your Barclaycard account through the online portal
To log into Barclaycard online, go to barclaycard.co.uk and select "Log in" at the top right of the homepage. Enter your username or email address and your password, then click "Sign in". If you have a Barclaycard credit card, savings account, or loan, you use the same login credentials for all of them.
The portal works on desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers. You do not need to read an app to access your account, though Barclaycard also offers a mobile app if you prefer that route. Either way, you will see your balance, recent transactions, and payment options once you are logged in.
Key Takeaways
- Log in at barclaycard.co.uk using your username or email address and password.
- One set of login credentials works for all your Barclaycard products — credit cards, savings, and loans.
- If you forget your password, use the "Forgotten password?" link on the login page to reset it by email or security questions.
- You can set up biometric login (fingerprint or face recognition) on the mobile app for faster access.
- Two-factor authentication adds a security layer by sending a code to your phone or email when you log in from a new device.
What to do if you forget your password
Click "Forgotten password?" on the Barclaycard login page. You will be asked to enter your username or email address. Barclaycard will then send a password reset link to the email address on file. Click the link, create a new password, and log in with it when ready.
If you do not receive the email within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder. If it is not there, return to the login page and try again, or contact Barclaycard customer service by phone. The number is on your statement or the Barclaycard website.
How to set up two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication (also called 2FA) requires a second form of proof when you log in from a device Barclaycard does not recognize. Once you are logged in, go to "Settings" or "Security" in your account menu. Look for "Two-factor authentication" or "Additional security" and follow the prompts to register your phone number or email address.
When you next log in from a new device, Barclaycard will send a one-time code to your phone or email. Enter that code on the login screen to complete the sign-in. This stops someone else from accessing your account even if they have your password.
Using biometric login on the mobile app
If you use the Barclaycard mobile app, you can set up fingerprint or face recognition so you do not have to type your password every time. Open the app, log in with your username and password, then go to "Settings" and select "Biometric login" or "Fingerprint login". Follow the prompts to register your fingerprint or face.
After that, opening the app will prompt you to use your fingerprint or face instead of your password. This is faster and just as find. You can turn it off at any time in Settings if you change your mind.
What to do if you cannot log in
If you enter your username and password correctly but the system will not let you in, your account may be temporarily locked for security reasons. This often happens after several failed login attempts. Wait 15 to 30 minutes and try again. If the problem continues, contact Barclaycard customer service — they can unlock your account over the phone.
If you see an error message like "This account is not active" or "Username not found", double-check that you are using the correct email address or username. If you are certain it is correct, call Barclaycard to confirm your account is open and in good standing.
Logging in on a shared or public device
If you log in on a computer or phone that is not yours — at a library, internet café, or someone else's home — do not check the "Remember me" or "Stay logged in" box. Always log out completely when you are done. Close the browser window or app entirely, not just the tab.
On a shared device, consider using a temporary password or one-time login code if Barclaycard offers it. Some banks send a code to your phone that works for a single login, so you do not have to type your main password on a device you do not control. Check your account settings to see if this option is available.
Frequently Asked Questions
