Barclays Change of Address: How to Update Your Details (2026)

To change your Barclays address, open the Barclays app, select the person icon, go to Contact details, enter your new address and confirm with the 3-digit security code from the back of your debit card. You can also update via Online Banking, by calling 0345 734 5345, or in branch with your debit card, PIN and photo ID. Updating in the app also updates your Barclaycard. If you have a Barclays mortgage, or have ever had one, you cannot change your address in the app or Online Banking and must call instead. You can also use Moveinout to notify Barclays alongside over 9,000 other providers in one process.

Why does updating your Barclays address matter when you move?

Barclays holds your registered address across every account and product you have with them. Statements, replacement debit and credit cards, important account notifications and security alerts are all sent to that address. If it is out of date after you move, all of that post goes to your old property.

A replacement card arriving at a property you no longer occupy is a direct security risk. A fraud alert going to your old address gives suspicious activity more time to develop before you notice it. Post containing your account number, sort code and registered address at a former property is one of the primary routes for previous occupier fraud, one of the fastest-growing forms of identity crime in the UK.

Updating your Barclays address takes around three minutes in the app and is one of the most important tasks to complete on moving day.

How do you change your Barclays address in the app?

The Barclays app is the fastest way to update your address, available on iOS and Android 24 hours a day. The following steps are verified from barclays.co.uk/help/your-details/changeaddress.

How do you change your Barclays address via Online Banking?

Online Banking is available on desktop and mobile browsers and is a good alternative if you are not set up on the app or prefer a larger screen.

How do you change your Barclays address by phone?

Phone is the required route if you have a Barclays mortgage or have ever had one. It is also available to all customers as an alternative to the app or Online Banking.

• Call 0345 734 5345
• If you are in the Barclays app, tap Call Us to connect directly
• Have your account details and new address ready before calling

How do you change your Barclays address in branch?

Visiting a branch is available to all customers. Barclays confirms you will need to bring the following:

• A valid Barclays debit card, and you must know your PIN
• A photo ID such as a passport, driving licence or most ID cards

Use the branch finder at barclays.co.uk/branch-finder to find your nearest branch and check opening hours.

Is there a Barclays change of address form?

Yes. Barclays has a printable change of address form available to download from barclays.co.uk. The form covers personal current accounts, savings accounts and loan accounts, including accounts held in joint names.

The form confirms it changes your address across all personal Barclays Bank current, savings and loan accounts simultaneously. It does not cover mortgages, insurance products, currency accounts or Wealth Management accounts, which each require separate notification.

You can also pick up a form in any Barclays branch if you prefer not to download and print.

What if you have a Barclays mortgage?

This is the most important exception in the Barclays address change process. Barclays states directly on their help page: "If you have a mortgage with us, or have ever had one, you can't change your address in the app or Online Banking. You'll need to call us instead."

This applies even if the mortgage was paid off years ago. If you have ever held a Barclays mortgage under your name, the app and Online Banking address change will not be available to you. Call 0345 734 5345 to update by phone.

Does updating your Barclays address also update your Barclaycard?

Yes. Barclays confirms that if you change your address in the app or Online Banking, it automatically updates your Barclaycard too. You do not need to notify Barclaycard separately.

This automatic cross-update also applies to Barclays Partner Finance if you have a current account with Barclays. Your current account Travel Pack insurance address is also updated when you change your contact details.

What about joint accounts?

If you change your address in the app or Online Banking, Barclays confirms it updates the address for your joint accounts too. The other joint account holders will be able to see that the address has changed.

If you do not want your joint accounts updated at the same time, contact Barclays before making the change. If the other account holders want to update their own address separately, they can do so through the app themselves.

Which Barclays products need a separate address update?

Barclays operates several products and services that do not update automatically when you change your bank account address. Each of the following must be notified separately using the contact details below, verified from barclays.co.uk.

Notifying Barclays alongside all your other providers

Updating Barclays is one task on a long moving day list. Your council, HMRC, the DVLA, your energy supplier, your GP and dozens more all need to know your new address, and none of them share information with each other or with Barclays.

Moveinout is a UK change of address notification service covering over 9,000 organisations across 24 provider categories. You enter your details once, select who needs to know, and Moveinout dispatches notifications to each provider on your behalf. A dashboard shows which providers have been notified throughout your move.
