Beat postal disruption with mybarclaycard

Following the announcement of a possible national postal strike in October, Barclaycard is advising its customers to manage their accounts online with ‘mybarclaycard', its new online account management system. mybarclaycard offers Barclaycard customers a variety of secure online payment options, including one off payments and the setting up of regular direct debits so customers do not have to worry about missing a payment deadline.

mybarclaycard is simple to use and gives customers more control over their accounts as they can choose how to view their account information and spending online. Customers will also be able to view statements online, request a balance transfer, query or dispute a transaction and request a new credit limit quickly and securely.

To avoid the impact of prolonged postal problems Barclaycard customers can register at barclaycard.co.uk/mybarclaycard. The simple registration process offers customers instant access to their account so there is no need to wait for login details to come through the post.

Amer Sajed, Chief Executive Barclaycard UK, said: "We want to make our customers' lives as easy as possible and by managing their account online, customers can take control.

"Managing an account online with mybarclaycard will avoid the impact of issues such as postal strike action. If customers do not have access to internet facilities, they can make a payment over the phone."
