Does Bank AI move money on my Barclays account?
No. Bank AI is read-only by design. Transfers, payments and standing orders continue to happen inside Barclays. Bank AI surfaces balances, transactions and recurring totals; every action remains under your control inside the Barclays app.
How does Bank AI connect to Barclays?
Barclays exposes account data via PSD2. Bank AI uses licensed Account Information Service Providers (AISPs) to read balances, transactions and standing orders; Strong Customer Authentication is enforced every 90 days as the rules require.
Are Barclaycard credit cards read under the same Barclays connection?
Yes. Where Barclaycard credit cards are linked to your Barclays customer profile, they appear as their own facility under the Barclays connection with statement balances, available credit and the next direct-debit date surfaced.
Does Bank AI work with Barclays Smart Investor?
Where Barclays exposes Smart Investor (Stocks & Shares ISA, GIA) holdings via Open Banking, equity and fund positions are read alongside the current account.
What about my Barclays Premier Banking account?
Premier accounts are read identically to the standard current account - the connection is at account level. The Premier eligibility threshold and benefits remain inside the Barclays app.
What happens if Barclays raises a connectivity error?
PSD2 connections occasionally require re-authentication (the 90-day SCA refresh) or fail because of a Barclays-side maintenance window. Bank AI shows a clear status pill on the connection and prompts you to re-authenticate without losing any of your data.
