Dividends
On 1 March 2016, we announced our intention to pay dividends semi-annually in April and September from 2016 rather than quarterly.
Full year and half year dividends
In order to help Barclays serve the needs of businesses and households through the extraordinary challenges presented by COVID-19, the Board has decided that for 2020 the Company will not undertake any interim ordinary share dividend payments, accrual of ordinary share dividends, or share buybacks.
In addition, in response to a request from the UK Prudential Regulation Authority and to preserve additional capital for use in serving Barclays’ customers and clients, the Board has agreed to cancel the 6.0p per ordinary share full year 2019 dividend that was due for payment on 3 April 2020. The Board will decide on any future dividend policy and amounts at year-end 2020.

The majority of Barclays shareholders have their dividends paid into their bank or building society account. It's safer, quicker and easier for your dividends to be paid directly to you.
If you lose your cheque, there may be an administration fee to pay when the dividend payment(s) are reissued to you. Please visit shareview.co.uk for more information.
If you would like to receive your dividends directly into your bank or building society account, please download a Bank Mandate Form and return to Equiniti at the address on the form.
Alternatively, if you hold 2,500 shares or fewer, you can provide your bank or building society account details quickly and easily over the telephone using Equiniti's contact details.

Barclays issues a consolidated dividend confirmation for the financial year in March/April to shareholders who have their dividends paid directly into a bank or building society account.
Shareholders who receive a dividend cheque posted to their registered address receive a dividend confirmation with each payment.

Alternatively you can contact Equiniti via www.shareview.co.uk.
There may be an administration charge for issuing duplicate dividend confirmations. You can also access your dividend information and electronic dividend confirmation online using Shareview.
