  • 1. Are Barclays Bank of Delaware (Barclays) accounts FDIC insured?

    Yes. Barclays Bank Delaware is a member of the FDIC, so our deposit accounts are insured up to the maximum amount allowed by law. If you want to learn more about FDIC insurance limits, visit www.fdic.gov.

  • 2. Are there fees for Barclays accounts?

    There are no monthly maintenance or annual fees charged for Barclays accounts. Certain circumstances, like early withdrawal of CDs or insufficient funds, may incur penalties or fees. For more information about fees, please see account Terms and Conditions.

  • 3. What is an "external account"?

    Your external account is a bank account you have with another U.S. financial institution. It’s linked to your Barclays account so that you can transfer money between the two. Any external account that is linked to your Barclays account must be in an account holder’s name. This includes payment processing companies such as: PayPal, Dwolla, Coinbase, Venmo, Square, and Payday loan deposits.

  • 4. Tell me about "test deposits."

    For security reasons, we use test deposits as part of the external account verification process. Within 2-3 business days after linking your external account, you will receive two small deposits in your external bank account, each under $1.00, that will be immediately withdrawn from your account. We do not use your money to make these test deposits.

    We’ll then ask you to log in to your Barclays account and report the amounts of those test deposits. After you have confirmed the test deposit amounts, you’ll be able to begin transferring money between your Barclays account and your external account. We use this method to verify each new external account. If you do not verify your external account within 99 days from when you opened your account, transfers will be restricted until you can verify your external bank account. 

  • 5. How do I reset my password?

    You can reset your Barclays Online Banking password on our website. Simply select the Forgot UserID and/or Password link during Log In from the Barclays Online Banking home page. You will be asked a few short questions to verify your identity. Then choose to have a one-time pass code sent to you by email, phone, or text. The one-time pass code will be active for 10 minutes.

  • 3. What will happen to my Dream account balance?

    If you have a balance of $49.99 or less, your Dream account will be closed and a check will be sent to your mailing address on file. If you need to update your mailing address, you have until 11/21/2021 to make updates by logging into your account, selecting ‘Your profile’, and then editing your Contact information. Or, you can always contact us at 1-888-710-8756. We’re here to help you 7 days a week, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET.

    If you have a balance of $50.00 or more, your Dream account will be converted to a Barclays Online Savings account. Your account number will not change and the Online Savings Account terms and conditions will apply to your account.

  • 4. Will my account number change if my Dream account is converted to a Barclays Online Savings account?

    If your account balance is $50.00 or more on 11/22/2021, you do not need to make any changes since your routing and account number will not change.

    If your account balance is less than $50.00, please contact the depositor to cancel the direct deposits prior to 11/22/2021. Direct deposits that have not been canceled at the time of closure will be rejected and returned to the originating financial institution.

  • 5. What if I have direct deposits set up to deposit to my Dream account?

    If your account balance is $50.00 or more on 11/22/2021, you do not need to make any changes since your routing and account number will not change.

    If your account balance is less than $50.00, please contact the depositor to cancel the direct deposits prior to 11/22/2021. Direct deposits that have not been canceled at the time of closure will be rejected and returned to the originating financial institution.

  • 6. What if I have scheduled or reoccurring transfers set up for my Dream account?

    Scheduled or reoccurring transfers will remain intact if your account balance is $50.00 or more on 11/22/2021.

    If your account balance is less than $50.00, you have until 11/21/2021 to cancel your transfers. Please log into your account, select ‘Transfers’ at the top of the page, and then delete any transfers under the ‘Scheduled transfers’ section that are set up for your Dream account. Scheduled transfers that have not been canceled at the time of closure will be rejected and returned to the originating account.

  • 7. Will bonus payments be paid if my account is closed or converted before the 6-month milestone is reached?

    Yes. With a Dream account, you’ve been eligible for a consecutive monthly deposit bonus and a no withdrawal bonus every six months. Because you may not have had the chance to meet the required timeframes to earn these bonuses as a result of this retirement, Barclays will award you both bonuses before your account is converted. This means you will earn a 5.00% bonus on the interest you’ve earned over the last six months, regardless of where you are within the 6-month bonus cycle.

    You can calculate your Dream account bonus by adding the previous six months of posted interest plus the interest earned up until the day of closure/conversion, then multiply the total by 5.00%. Please see the example below.

    • Interest posted on 5/31/2021 = $10.00
    • Interest posted on 6/30/2021 = $10.00
    • Interest posted on 7/31/2021 = $10.00
    • Interest posted on 8/31/2021 = $10.00
    • Interest posted on 9/30/2021 = $10.00
    • Interest posted on 10/31/2021 = $10.00
    • Interest earned from 11/01/2021 to 11/22/2021 = $8.00
    • Total interest earned in the previous 6 months + interest earned up until date of closure/conversion = $68.00

     

    Total Dream bonus = $68.00 x 5.00% = $3.40

  • 8. Will I receive the Bonuses with a Barclays Online Savings account?

    No, the Barclays Online Savings account does not offer bonuses, but the interest rate is higher than the Dream account.

  • 9. What if I want to close my Dream account prior to the conversion date?

    You can close your Dream account by contacting us at 1-888-710-8756. We’re here to help you 7 days a week, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET. However, you will not earn the 5.00% bonus that will be applied to all open Dream accounts on the date of conversion if you close before that date.

  • 10. What if I have less than $50 and want to keep my account open?

    You have until 11/21/2021 to deposit funds so that your balance is at least $50.00. Then your account will be converted to a Barclays Online Savings account.

  • 11. What happens to the beneficiaries listed on my Dream account?

    If you have a balance of $50.00 or more on 11/22/2021, no actions required since your existing beneficiaries will remain on the account when your Dream account is converted to the Barclays Online Savings account.

    If your Dream account balance is less than $50.00 on 11/22/2021, your account will be closed and payable upon death beneficiaries will no longer apply.

  • 12. What happens to my Dream account if I opened an Account for Minors?

The minor will remain as the primary account holder with the adult remaining as the joint account holder. Minors will still be able to make deposits to their online savings account, check account balances, and review account activity, but only the adult joint account holder will be able to make withdrawals.

    If the Dream account balance is less than $50.00 on 11/22/2021, the Account for Minors will be closed and a check for the remaining balance made payable to the Minor will be sent to the mailing address on file.

To set up this preference, please log in to your account, select the Account detail tab, and go to the Additional Details section. Under CD interest disbursement, select the Edit option.

  • 5. Are there penalties for early termination?

    Yes. A penalty will be imposed for any withdrawal of principal from your CD Account before maturity. If your CD Account was opened before July 27, 2016, principal is defined as the original dollar amount of the CD, plus any interest earned and remaining in the account. If the amount required to be forfeited is greater than the interest earned or paid on your CD Account, we will deduct the difference from principal. For any CD Account opened after July 27, 2016, principal is defined as the original dollar amount of the CD. For a CD Account with a term of less than or equal to 24 months, a penalty equaling 90 days simple interest on the dollar amount withdrawn subject to penalty will be imposed, and for a CD Account with a term of more than 24 months, a penalty equaling 180 days simple interest on the dollar amount withdrawn subject to penalty will be imposed. In certain circumstances, such as the death or incompetence of a CD Account holder, the law permits, and in some cases requires, the waiver of the early withdrawal penalty.
