Euro currency bank accounts and savings accounts

Flexible euro currency banking services and bank accounts from Barclays Wealth

More and more people from non-euro countries are buying property or making investments within the Eurozone. Holding a euro bank account or savings account makes it easier and more cost-effective to do both.

Barclays Wealth International offers a great range of euro accounts. If you own property within the EU, you can use our euro bank account to pay your mortgage and property-related expenses and receive any rental income without incurring currency risks, or the expense of money transfers.

And with our savings accounts in euros, you can take advantage of how the euro exchange rate performs against other currencies, as well as the interest rates that apply to saving in euros.

What's more, if you hold your euro account offshore, you could also take advantage of tax and financial planning opportunities*.

And for a limited period, open a new Barclays Wealth International account and you will be given the option to open the New Client Term Deposit account¹, offering the great fixed rate of 2.5% AER/Gross² on euro (EUR) deposits from £10,000 to £250,000 (or currency equivalent). This account is offered for a fixed term of 12 months , with no withdrawals or closure allowed during this period - interest is paid on account maturity.

Opening a euro account

It couldn't be easier with Barclays Wealth International. Our international bank account is available through the choice of four banking services, offering as few or as many products and services that you require.

You can opt for our free Relationship Manager Service if you have £50,000 or more (or currency equivalent) to place with Barclays Wealth International, or if you have come to live in or are moving to the UK, an annual individual income of £100,000 or more to mandate to a Barclays Wealth International account.
