Lost or stolen Barclays debit card from abroad

If your debit card is lost or stolen, call Barclays as soon as you notice it is missing. Barclays lists +44 2476 842 099 as the number for callers outside the UK.

1. Call +44 2476 842 099 from abroad. This is the number Barclays gives for lost or stolen cards outside the UK.
2. Select option 1 for immediate help. Barclays' emergency cash page gives this instruction for the same number.
3. Have your details ready. Note when you noticed the card missing and where you last had it, so you can answer the questions quickly.

Personal and Premier banking enquiries

For general questions about a personal or Premier account, Barclays lists the same number for customers abroad, but with weekday hours.

Barclays gives this number two sets of hours. Its lost-card and emergency cash pages say the line is open 24 hours, 7 days. Its customer services page says the lines are open 8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday, for personal and Premier enquiries. For a general question, plan your call for weekday hours.

Rates and what to expect

The 002call rate is $0.02 / min for this number.

002call sends your call over the internet, so it skips the international call charges your carrier and hotel phone would add. There is no subscription, and you pay only for the minutes you use. If you are abroad, Wi-Fi avoids mobile data charges.

Check the UK time against your own clock before you call.

Barclays' call charges page says that non-BT customers and mobile phone users should contact their service providers for information about the cost of calls. Calls from a mobile, a public telephone or a hotel room may attract extra charges, set by your phone or hotel rather than by Barclays or 002call.

What to have ready before you call

• The last digits of the card or account involved.
• The time you noticed the card missing and the last place you had it.
• Paper and a pen, so you can note the name of the person you speak to and any reference number they give you.

What if I am calling about a lost card outside weekday hours?

Barclays' lost-card and emergency cash pages say the line is open 24 hours, 7 days. For general personal or Premier questions, call between 8am and 8pm, Monday to Friday.
