International bank account
International banking services, bank and savings accounts, from Barclays Wealth International
Barclays Wealth International can help you get the most from your personal international banking.
The international bank service we offer ranges from day-to-day banking to more complex needs. For instance, you can have an account denominated in sterling, euros or US dollars with a cheque book, if required.
Our international bank account facilities are tailored to your other requirements for investment management, insurance mortgages, loans, as well as more specialised services such as wills and estate planning.
At Barclays Wealth International, we seek to service your needs wherever you are in the world by telephone, online or face-to-face using the Relationship Manager Service. This fee-free personal, tailored solution is designed to help clients maximise their wealth. A dedicated Relationship Manager will take the time to get to know you, in order to understand your circumstances and help you achieve your financial aspirations.
The service is aimed at clients with cash or investments of £50,000 or more (or currency equivalent) to place with Barclays Wealth International, or for clients who have come to live in or are moving to the UK, an annual individual gross income of £100,000 or more to mandate to a Barclays Wealth International account.

You can make an international bank transfer at a branch, by telephone or fax, over the internet or through your Relationship Manager if you have that level of service.

International online banking
We place great emphasis on security with our online banking services, using the latest technology to ensure your account is safe.
But while internet banking is truly global there can be good reasons for you to locate your account in one of our international locations.
These internet accounts can be located in London, the Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey or Gibraltar depending on which territory offers you the best tax advantages. We can introduce you to leading financial services firm, Ernst & Young, which is our preferred partner for tax advice.
