Can I confirm it's me using a one-time verification code by text message if I'm not living in the UK?

Yes, as long as you have a registered UK mobile number. If you don't have a UK mobile number you'll need to choose another way to confirm it's you. You can use:

  • a PINsentry device with your card and PIN
  • the Barclaycard app. It's the most convenient and easy way - no codes, just a few taps and you're done.
