I'm going abroad and will be using my Debit Card, how can I prepare via the Barclays app?

You can turn on - 'In-store international spending' which lets us know that you expect to be spending in Supermarkets, restaurants and bars, retail outlets, etc. 

From your Barclays app 'Home' screen:

  1. Tap 'Cards'
  2. Scroll up to view options
  3. Tap 'In-store international spending'
  4. Tap the toggle switch to turn 'In-store international spending' on
  5. 'In-store international spending' is now active
  6. Tap the toggle switch to turn this back off

Please note: Withdrawing cash, online payments, such as subscriptions, won't be affected by this being turned on or off.
