How to correctly fill out a transfer form

Barclays Bank PLC operates in Canada as a foreign bank branch focusing on investment banking and corporate services. To send funds to a Barclays account in Canada, you must use the institution number 290. Most operations are centralized through their Toronto office, so the transit number 00001 is typically used for electronic clearing.

Recipient: [Corporate Client Name]
Institution Number: 290 (public bank identifier)
Transit Number: 00001 (central operations)

Tips for filling out the form

• Barclays in Canada does not provide personal retail banking. Ensure you are sending funds to a verified corporate or institutional account.
• For wires from the UK, Barclays clients may benefit from internal routing; however, the Canadian SWIFT code BARCCATT must be used for local delivery.
• Always include a clear reference or invoice number in the memo field for faster reconciliation by their treasury team.
