You'll be able to set up a memorable word and passcode – by customising your Online Banking – to gain access to many services without your card reader.
You’ll be able to:
– See your balances
– Transfer money between your Barclays accounts
– Make payments to people and companies you've paid before through Online Banking
– Make first-time payments to new payees if they appear on our pre-approved list1
You can set up a passcode and memorable word when you notice our new log-in screen by following the 4 steps listed below:
Step 1: Log in using your PINsentry
Step 2: Go to the 'Customise my site' page in the right-hand menu
Step 3: Select 'Set up my 5-digit passcode and memorable word'
Step 4: Enter your new details and save
Once you complete the steps above, you'll be able to use either PINsentry or your passcode and memorable word to log in to Online Banking and save your preferred log-in screen. If you change your mind, you can always select the alternative log-in screen.
Since our changes are being phased in, not all of our customers will see the changes at the same time.
We're introducing the new log-in screen soon.
1 The pre-approved list contains banking details of some of the UK's most popular companies. Once you enter a company's name on the page, our systems will search for its banking details to ensure your payment reaches the correct destination. If the payee does not feature on the list, we will ask you to use your PINsentry to make your payment; our Online Banking screens will guide you through this process.
