How Barclays supports the defence sector
As NATO, the EU and UK seek to increase their defence capabilities in response to increasing geopolitical threats, the provision of financial products and services to the defence sector is becoming increasingly important. Barclays provides a range of financial products and services to UK, US and European defence companies that supply NATO and its allies.
Industry Collaboration
Barclays is a member of the Defence & Economic Growth Taskforce which was created in April 2025 by the Confederation of British Industry, with knowledge partners Oliver Wyman, and with support from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, and Secretary of State for Defence, John Healey. The role of the Taskforce is to identify opportunities to drive UK growth and productivity through supporting UK Defence capability and production.
