Payment cut-off times

When sending an international payment each individual currency will have a cut-off time. The cut-off time represents how far in advance you must submit your payment instruction to ensure your funds are sent by Barclays on the value date you require. Each currency cut-off time will confirm how many days in advance of value date we must receive your instruction, and also the cut-off time on that day which you have until to submit your payment.

As an example: Chinese Renminbi is a currency which gives next day value with a cut-off time of 15:00. This means if you want an international payment in CNY from your CNY account to be sent on Wednesday, you have until 15:00 on Tuesday that week to submit your payment.

Please note: Cut-off times relate to the execution of your payment instruction by Barclays in the UK. Beneficiary banks will apply their own fund availability schedules outside of Barclays’ control, which means funds may not be available to the payment beneficiary on your selected value date.
