Simple loans and borrowing
As a client of Barclays international banking, your ability to borrow travels with you, so you don't have to establish a new credit history when you move to another country (subject to local regulatory requirements). Whether you have a specific purchase in mind, need to improve short-term cash flow, or wish to diversify your assets, we may have a loan solution to suit you.
Multi-currency investments
We offer a range of investment solutions that can be tailored to help meet your individual needs. This includes structured deposits, structured notes and access to a range of investment funds, all of which offer a choice of risk and potential return. Our investment products are available in sterling, euro and US dollar.
We can give you access to share dealing services through experts within the Barclays Group.
Investment funds should be viewed as a medium- to long-term commitment, that is five years or more, and our structured products range between three and six years. The value and any income from them can go down as well as up. You might get back less that your originally invested.

Your Relationship Manager can introduce you to specialists who provide solutions to help protect your wealth from sudden changes in your financial situation (for example, selling a business), as well as unplanned events (such as a change in family circumstances).
