Access your Barclays credit card account through the online portal
To log into your Barclays credit card account, go to barclays.com and select "Log in" at the top right of the homepage. Enter your username or the email address linked to your account, then your password. If you have set up two-factor authentication (which Barclays calls "find Key"), you will be asked to enter a code from your security device or phone after you submit your password.
The login page is the same whether you are using a computer, tablet, or phone. Barclays does not have a separate mobile app for credit card customers in the United States — you log in through the website on any device.
Key Takeaways
- Go to barclays.com and click "Log in" to reach the login page for your credit card account.
- You will need your username (or registered email address) and password to log in.
- If you have not set up a username yet, you can create one using your card number and other account details.
- Two-factor authentication adds a security step that requires a code from your phone or security device after you enter your password.
- If you forget your password, use the "Forgot password?" link on the login page to reset it by email.
Create a username if you do not have one yet
If you have never logged in before, you will need to set up a username first. On the Barclays login page, select "Register" or "New user?" and follow the prompts. You will be asked to enter your credit card number, the expiration date, and your date of birth to verify your identity.
Barclays will send a verification code to the email address on file with your account. Enter that code to confirm your email, then create a username and password. Your username can be any combination of letters and numbers that you choose — it does not have to match your name.
Reset your password if you are locked out
If you forget your password or cannot remember it, click "Forgot password?" on the login page. Enter your username or email address, and Barclays will send a password reset link to your email. Click the link in that email and create a new password.
The reset link is valid for a limited time. If it expires before you use it, return to the login page and request a new one. Make sure you check your spam or junk folder if you do not see the reset email in your inbox within a few minutes.
Set up two-factor authentication for added security
Two-factor authentication (called "find Key" by Barclays) requires a second form of verification after you enter your password. Once you log in, go to your account settings and look for the security or authentication section. You can choose to receive codes by text message to your phone or use a security key device.
After you set it up, every time you log in from a new device or browser, you will be asked to enter a code. This code is usually valid for a short window — typically five to ten minutes. If you lose access to your phone or device, contact Barclays customer service to reset your two-factor authentication.
What to do if you cannot log in
If you see an error message when you try to log in, first check that you are on the official Barclays website (barclays.com) and not a phishing site. Clear your browser's cache and cookies, then try again in a different browser or in private browsing mode.
If you still cannot log in after resetting your password, your account may be locked for security reasons. Contact Barclays customer service at the number on the back of your credit card. They can unlock your account and walk you through the login process. Do not call a number from an email or text message — always use the number printed on your card.
View your statements and payment options after logging in
Once you are logged in, you can view your current balance, recent transactions, and billing statements. You can also set up automatic payments, make a one-time payment, or read statements as PDFs. The dashboard shows your available credit and the date your next payment is due.
If you need to change your registered email address, phone number, or mailing address, you can do that in the account settings section after you log in. Changes to your contact information usually take effect within one business day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Barclays credit card login the same as the Barclays bank login?
If you have both a Barclays credit card and a Barclays bank account, they use the same username and password to log in. You will see both accounts in your dashboard after you log in, and you can switch between them.
What should I do if I see a suspicious login on my account?
Log in to your account and check your recent transactions. If you see charges you did not make, contact Barclays customer service when ready. They can freeze your card and investigate the unauthorized charges. You are not responsible for fraudulent transactions reported promptly.
Can I log in if I am outside the United States?
Yes, you can log in from anywhere in the world. Barclays may ask you to verify your location the first time you log in from a new country, but this is a normal security check. You will receive a verification code by email or text.
How do I log out of my account?
After you log in, look for a "Log out" or "Sign out" button, usually in the top right corner or in a menu. Click it to end your session. Always log out when you are finished, especially if you are using a shared or public computer.
