Dealing with the loss of a family member, friend or someone close to you, is an emotional time and can be overwhelming. If you also need to take care of the financial matters of a loved one, we have a bereavement team that can help and guide you through the process.
Ways to Notify Us
Barclays online form
You can use our online notification form to let us know if the person who passed away had a Barclaycard relationship.
The Death Notification Service
Barclays and Barclaycard are members of The Death Notification Service. This is an online service, that lets you notify multiple banks and building societies, with just one notification. It’s free to use, and helps make notifying us of a Bereavement as simple as possible for you. Find out more about The Death Notification Service.
