How do I make a payment?

You can choose from a number of ways to pay a person or company – whether you’ve paid them before, or need to set them up as someone new.

Log in to your Barclays app and tap ‘Pay & Transfer’. Tap ‘Pay a recent or new payee’, select the account you want your payment to come from and then tap ‘To’. Now you’ll see an option to ‘Add new payee’ at the top of your screen. Tap that and either select ‘Search for a company’ link or enter your payee’s detail.
