Barclays Bank Address: What to Put on a Form
If a form is asking for the Barclays bank address, here is the answer to copy:
1 Churchill Place, London E14 5HP
That is the registered office, and it works for every Barclays account on any form: payroll, Direct Debit, or an international transfer. For any form asking where your Barclays account is held, one address answers it: the registered office at Churchill Place, Canary Wharf.

🏦 What to put for bank address
You probably don't need it
Your employer does not need it
Payroll runs on BACS, which routes on sort code and account number only. The address box is a hangover from paper forms. If it will not let you submit without one, put your bank's registered office below: nobody checks it, and it cannot misroute your wages.
Barclays registered office
1 Churchill Place, London E14 5HP
Registered offices taken from each bank’s own website in August 2026: check Barclays’s current details. Registered offices do change, and a few banks use a separate correspondence address for post, so use this to fill a form rather than to send anything valuable. Nothing you select here is sent anywhere.
Why this address, and not a branch
Barclays Bank UK plc is registered at 1 Churchill Place, London E14 5HP. Older cheque books and paper mandates named individual branches, and people reasonably assume the form wants theirs: it does not. No UK payment is routed by address, so the head office is always safe.
You do not need your branch's address, even if you know it. UK payments route on sort code and account number alone, and the registered office is correct for every Barclays account on any form.
When the form actually needs it
Most of the time it does not. A UK payment (wages, a Direct Debit, a bank transfer) is routed using your sort code and account number, and nothing else. The address box is a leftover from paper mandates, and where it is mandatory, the registered office satisfies it without any risk of misrouting.
The exception is a payment from abroad. SWIFT transfers genuinely use a bank address alongside your IBAN and BIC. International senders need your IBAN, the BIC (Barclays publishes BUKBGB22 for UK accounts), and a bank address: use 1 Churchill Place.
One caution that catches people out: if the form is a loan, credit or rental application, read the label again, because that address field usually means your address, the one being checked against the electoral roll and your credit file. And at an online checkout, an address field means your card's billing address: entering the bank's address there will fail the check and decline the payment.
Frequently asked questions
My cheque book shows a branch address. Should I use that?
Either works, but the registered office is the safer habit: branches close and merge, and the head office does not. The payment itself only ever uses your sort code and account number.
What do I put if the form asks for a branch name too?
The branch that holds your account if you know it, or simply the registered office. Nothing checks this field against a live branch list.
General information, not financial advice. Registered offices can move: the address above was verified in August 2026, and the bank's own site is always the final word. For other banks, see what to put for a bank address.
