If you have problems logging into your account, the following information should help you over come most problems:

Bookmarks

Bookmarks or favourites are very useful for getting to frequently visited pages very quickly but they can cause problems if set in the wrong page.

If you’re having trouble logging in using a bookmark, try typing in our full address (www.stockbrokers.barclays.co.uk) then select the login link on the top right of the page.

If you want to set a bookmark for our website, we suggest setting either the home page or the first login page.

Forgotten/ Locked Passwords

If you forget or lock out your password online, you are able to reset it (if you have set a memorable word with us) by following the forgotten password links on the login pages.

If you have forgotten your memorable word, User ID, or have not set a memorable, you will need to call us. (Please note we’re unable to reset your password or give you your user ID via email.)

User ID/ Surname format

Your User ID is very important. It tells us who you are and what accounts you should have access to. Mistyping your User ID or surname name will lead to problems logging in.

Make sure you do not include any spaces in your User ID. If your User ID has two letters at the start, make sure you include these (please note, not all User ID’s have letters at the beginning).

If you are having issues logging in and have a surname that contains special characters (e.g. O’Brien), try using the ` (acute) symbol (usually to the left of the number 1 key on your keyboard) instead of an ‘(apostrophe).
