Barclays Planned Maintenance

Historic - 02:00, 11th May - 11:30, 11th May

Barclays will be carrying out planned maintenance on Saturday 10th May 2025 between 06:00 and 12:00 BST. There will be a delay to reporting via FileGateway.
File Gateway will be unavailable on Sunday 11th May 2025 between 02:00 and 11:30 BST.

If you use Barclays, please be aware:

For payments in CDS Cash Account or Duty Deferment Account, Faster Payments is the only bank payment scheme which would normally process on Saturdays and Sundays, so there is no alternative during the maintenance. The recommendation would be to pay into the account in advance of the delays, to ensure sufficient balance was already present.

For Immediate Payment the alternative during the maintenance would be via the Online Payment Service using Corporate Credit Card or Debit Card. This doesn’t require any change to the declarations, you can choose to make the payment via any supported route, no matter which of the specific Immediate Payment MOP codes you use.

In either scenario, no declarations will be rejected, but they will be held pending release or clearance if the required funds are delayed by the use of Faster Payments during the Barclays maintenance.
