Barclays has planned maintenance scheduled for this weekend that may be causing some payment issues. While their main online banking and app services are currently reported as “working as they should be,” some specific payment functionalities are affected.
Current Service Status
Planned Maintenance:
- Barclays is performing essential maintenance on its payment systems. This will impact transactions from 00:00 BST to 07:00 BST on Sunday, September 7, 2025.
Faster Payments:
- During this maintenance window, you will not be able to make any payments or transfers to non-Barclays accounts. Any incoming Faster Payments will also be queued and credited to the receiving account once the work is complete.
Online Banking and App:
- The official status page indicates that the Barclays app and Online Banking are otherwise fully operational.
If You Are Experiencing Issues
If you are having problems outside of this specific maintenance window, it’s likely a localised issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take:
Check the Official Status Page:
- For the most accurate and up-to-date information, always visit the official Barclays Service Status page.
Clear Browser Data:
- If you are using a web browser, clear your cache and cookies. Old data can sometimes interfere with online banking functions.
Use the App:
- If online banking is not working, try using the Barclays mobile app, which may be more stable.
Use PINsentry:
- If you are having trouble logging in with your passcode, try using your physical PINsentry card reader or the Mobile PINsentry feature in the app.
