Using your card abroad

Your Barclaycard is accepted in lots of places around the world, so it’s one of the easiest and safest ways to make purchases or withdraw extra cash when you’re away from home.

Protecting you from fraud

You need to let us know when you’re going abroad to help us protect you from fraud.

So before you go abroad, call us on 0844 811 9091 (call charges information) or, if you’re registered for mybarclaycard, you can click on the Overseas Indicator and let us know that way.

If you make a cash withdrawal, interest is charged at your cash rate from the time the transaction reaches your account until you have paid it off in full. There is a fee of 2.5% (minimum £2.50) and you will be charged a 2.75% foreign exchange fee on all purchases and cash withdrawals made outside the UK.
