About the Company
- Barclays’ payments acceptance business provides critical infrastructure to the UK economy, processing billions of pounds of payments annually for both small businesses and domestic and international corporate clients.
- In April 2025, Barclays announced a long-term partnership with Brookfield Asset Management to grow and transform the payments acceptance business by broadening the range of services offered and enhancing the client experience.
