International banking services
International banking and bank accounts, with Barclays Wealth International
As business is changed by globalisation processes, it makes sense to use an international bank that is able to operate around the world and can offer services to you wherever you are. That is why we offer an international bank account, based in Gibraltar, Jersey or the Isle of Man, but available around the world.
What about the bank that you use when you are in your home country? Does it have the ability to work with you wherever you are without a lot of form filling? As an international bank we know the boundaries - legal, technical and national - that have to be crossed.
Our international teams are ready to help you set up your international bank account straight away. Contact them before you move to the UK so the account is ready to use when you arrive.
Your account can be denominated in sterling, US dollars or euros, and you can manage your finances wherever you are in the world by telephone, online or face-to-face using the Relationship Manager Service. This is a fee-free personal, tailored solution 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 investment 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. Also, if you decide to buy a home, we can offer mortgages in the local currency, or in euros or US dollars.
Apply for a Barclays Wealth International bank account before you move to the UK.
You can also call us on +44 (0)141 352 3986†, or use our call back service.
International online banking
Banks often use the internet to facilitate the management of bank accounts. At Barclays Wealth International we have developed international online and telephone banking, which enables you to manage your finances both in the place you are working and in your home country by using the internet. To qualify, all you need is an annual gross income of £24,000 or more (or currency equivalent) deposited into a Barclays Wealth account, or £5,000 or more (or currency equivalent) across the accounts you hold with us.
International bank transfers
With our online international banking, it's easy to make transfers of different currencies, up to a maximum of £50,000 (or currency equivalent). And by choosing to make your international payments online, rather than by letter, fax or face-to-face, you will get to enjoy discounted tariffs.
International bank account
Instant access to your money around the world is provided through debit cards. No notice of withdrawals is required provided there are sufficient funds in your account. A cheque book is available with this account should you need one.
