There are no monthly maintenance or annual fees charged for Barclays accounts. Certain circumstances, like early withdrawal of CDs or insufficient funds, may incur penalties or fees. For more information about fees, please see account Terms and Conditions.
Your external account is a bank account you have with another U.S. financial institution. It’s linked to your Barclays account so that you can transfer money between the two. Any external account that is linked to your Barclays account must be in an account holder’s name. This includes payment processing companies such as: PayPal, Dwolla, Coinbase, Venmo, Square, and Payday loan deposits.
Deposits begin earning interest as soon as they post to your account. An electronic deposit typically posts 2 to 3 business days after the transaction or transfer is initiated. A check deposit is processed on the day we receive it.
For all deposits made by check or electronically, funds will be held for five (5) business days from the day on which we credit your account for that deposit. ACH credits and funds transferred from another of your accounts at Barclays will be available immediately.
The Deposit Checks feature allows you to make a check deposit into your Barclays Online Savings Account by uploading a picture of a check from your computer, laptop or mobile device. This feature was formerly known as Remote Deposit Services, and is still covered in your Account Agreement under that name.
How to use Deposit Check Feature
- Tell us about your deposit, such as the amount on the check and the receiving account.
- Enter the amount.
- Sign the back of your check and write “For Mobile Deposit at Barclays Bank Only” below your signature. (Or if available, check the box that reads: “Check here if mobile deposit”.)
- Upload a picture, from your phone, tablet or personal computer, of the front and back of the check.
- Submit your deposit.
We’ll send you an email confirmation once we receive the images and another email once the deposit is processed. Checks deposited after 3:00 pm ET will be processed the next business day. There’s a 5-day minimum hold time on the amount deposited.

Mobile PINsentry is a feature of the Barclays app that enables you to log in to Online Banking without having to carry around a card reader or use your debit card.
If you use PINsentry, you’ll always need a PINsentry card reader and your debit card to log in to Online Banking.
Mobile PINsentry gives you the same access to Online Banking as PINsentry. You can use it so long as you’re registered for Online Banking and are already using PINsentry. If you’re not, you can upgrade to PINsentry.
