There are two speedy ways to apply to open a Barclays International account: by phone or online.
If you apply online, you fill in a form, and can then send your application to us electronically. We need to see your signature, so you then print off and post a signed customer declaration back to us, along with your identity documents.
If you phone, a representative will take you through the application form, sending the completed form to you to check, sign and send back to us along with your identity documents. The call can take as little as 15 minutes.
Alternatively if you would like to apply in person visit one of our international offices, bringing your identity documents with you.
