Barclays has launched a new incentive for customers switching their banking and savings, offering a potential cashback reward of up to £1,000. The offer provides up to £400 for switching your current account to Barclays Premier and up to a further £600 for transferring existing ISA savings. While this makes it one of the most generous switching packages currently available, to be eligible for a Barclays Premier account, you must be able to pay a gross annual income of £75,000 into the account or have at least £100,000 deposited with Barclays. The offer is available for switches initiated between 17th February and 30th April 2026.
How to get the £400 Barclays switch offer
If you are able to pay in a gross annual salary of at least £75,000 into your current account or who have at least £100,000 in savings or investments with Barclays you may be eligible for a higher bonus for switching.
