Barclays Launches New £200 Switch Bonus

These are the terms, conditions, and exclusions of the Barclays Bank Account Switch Offer (the “Offer”) for new customers who open a Barclays Bank Account between 10 March 2026 and 28 May 2026. These terms, conditions and exclusions are between you and us (Barclays Bank UK PLC). 

What’s the Current Account Switch Service (CASS)?

CASS is a free service that lets you switch your current account from one participating bank or building society to another. It’s been designed to be simple, reliable, and hassle-free and is backed by the Current Account Switch Guarantee. 

The Current Account Switch Guarantee ensures your current account will switch on a day of your choice, your payments will be automatically transferred and redirected to your new account, and in the unlikely event anything goes wrong with your switch, we will refund any interest (paid or lost) and charges (incurred on your old or new current accounts) as a result of this failure as soon as it is brought to our attention.

If you’re eligible, you’ll get a £200 CASS bonus paid into your new Barclays Bank Account when you switch to us using CASS.
