If you need to delete a payee in the Barclays bank app, it’s a quick process.
Whether you’re cleaning up your list or removing someone you no longer need to pay, I’ll guide you through it.
Deleting a payee won’t affect your account or other payments—it only removes that specific contact.
This guide will walk you through the steps on how to do it directly from the app.
Follow the instructions carefully to ensure the payee is deleted properly.
Let’s get started with the steps.
How To Delete Payee On Barclays Bank App
1. Open the Barclays Bank App
Start by opening the Barclays bank app on your device.
Make sure you’re logged into your account.
If you’re not already logged in, enter your login details to access your account.
Once you’re in, you’ll be able to manage your payees directly from the app.
2. Navigate to ‘Payments’
Next, head to the ‘Payments’ section of the app.
This is where you’ll find all the payees you’ve added to your account.
Tap on ‘Payments’ from the main menu, and it will take you to a screen where you can view your list of payees.
3. Select the Payee You Want to Delete
Scroll through the list of payees to find the one you want to delete.
Each payee should be listed by name, making it easy to find the correct one.
Once you’ve located the payee, tap on their name to access more options related to that contact.
4. Access Payee Details
After selecting the payee, you’ll be taken to a screen showing their details.
This is where you can view information such as their account number, sort code, and payment history.
At the bottom of this screen, you’ll see an option to manage the payee.
Tap on ‘Manage’ to proceed.
5. Delete the Payee
In the manage section, you’ll find the option to delete the payee.
Tap on ‘Delete Payee’ and confirm your choice when prompted.
The app may ask you to verify the action for security reasons, so be prepared to enter your PIN, password, or use your fingerprint or Face ID if enabled.
6. Confirm the Deletion
Once you’ve confirmed the deletion, the payee will be removed from your list.
This action is permanent, so make sure you no longer need to send payments to this person or company before proceeding.
If you ever need to add them back, you can do so by following the process for adding a new payee.
7. Check Your Payee List
After deleting the payee, it’s a good idea to double-check your list to ensure they’re no longer there.
Go back to the ‘Payments’ section and scroll through the list to confirm the payee has been successfully removed.
This step is just to give you peace of mind that the process worked as expected.
8. Update Your Records
If you keep a record of your payees, whether in a personal finance app or a spreadsheet, make sure to update it to reflect the deletion.
Removing the payee from the app won’t automatically update any other records you maintain, so this step ensures everything is consistent.
9. Consider Your Next Steps
Now that you’ve deleted the payee, think about what comes next.
If you deleted the payee because you no longer need to make payments to them, then you’re all set.
However, if you’re switching to a new payee or need to update details for an existing one, you can do that through the app as well.
10. Re-Adding a Payee If Needed
If you ever need to add the payee back, the process is straightforward.
Simply go to the ‘Payments’ section, tap on ‘Add Payee,’ and enter their details.
The app will guide you through the process of adding them back to your list, ensuring you can make payments as needed.
11. Keep Your App Updated
To ensure the app functions smoothly, keep it updated.
Barclays regularly releases updates that include security enhancements and new features.
By keeping your app up to date, you reduce the risk of encountering issues when managing your payees and other banking tasks.
12. Manage Payees Regularly
It’s a good practice to regularly review and manage your payees.
If you frequently add new payees, your list can get cluttered, making it harder to find the contacts you need.
Periodically going through your list and deleting those you no longer need will keep things organized and make your banking experience more efficient.
13. Contact Barclays Support If Needed
If you run into any issues while trying to delete a payee, or if you have any questions, Barclays customer support is there to help.
You can contact them directly through the app, by phone, or by visiting a branch.
They can assist with any concerns you have about managing your payees or using other features of the Barclays bank app.
