Opportunities in U.S. Equities
Unlike conventional debt securities, the securities do not guarantee
the payment of interest or any return of principal at maturity. Instead, the securities offer the opportunity for investors to
receive a contingent quarterly payment equal to 2.25% of the stated principal amount with respect to each quarterly determination
date on which the closing price of each underlier is greater than or equal to 75% of its initial underlier value, which we refer
to as a downside threshold level. If the closing price of each underlier is greater than or equal to its initial underlier value
on any determination date (other than the final determination date), the securities will be automatically redeemed for an amount
per security equal to the stated principal amount plus the contingent quarterly payment otherwise due. However, if on any determination
date the closing price of either underlier is less than its initial underlier value, the securities will not be redeemed and if
the closing price of either underlier is less than its downside threshold level, investors will not receive any contingent quarterly
payment for the related quarterly period. If the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the final underlier value of
each underlier is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level, the payment at maturity due on the securities will be
equal to the stated principal amount plus the contingent quarterly payment otherwise due. However, if the securities are
not redeemed prior to maturity and the final underlier value of either underlier is less than its downside threshold level, at
maturity investors will lose 1% of the stated principal amount for every 1% that the final underlier value of the worse performing
underlier is less than its initial underlier value. Under these circumstances, the amount investors receive will be less than 75%
of the stated principal amount and could be zero. Because all payments on the securities are based on the worse performing of the
underliers, a decline in the closing price of either underlier below its downside threshold level on most or all of the determination
dates will result in few or no contingent quarterly payments and/or a significant loss of your investment, even if the other underlier
appreciates or has not declined as much. The securities are for investors who are willing and able to risk their principal and
forgo guaranteed interest payments, in exchange for the opportunity to receive contingent quarterly payments at a potentially above-market
rate, subject to automatic early redemption. Investors will not participate in any appreciation of either underlier even though
investors will be exposed to the depreciation in the value of the worse performing underlier if the securities have not been redeemed
prior to maturity and the final underlier value of the worse performing underlier is less than its downside threshold level. Investors
may lose their entire initial investment in the securities. The securities are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of
Barclays Bank PLC. Any payment on the securities, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the creditworthiness of Barclays
Bank PLC and is not guaranteed by any third party. If Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its payment obligations or become subject
to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power (as described on page 5 of this document) by the relevant U.K. resolution authority,
you might not receive any amounts owed to you under the securities. See “Risk Factors” and “Consent to U.K. Bail-in
Power” in this document and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
One or more of our affiliates may purchase up to 15% of the aggregate
principal amount of the securities and hold such securities for investment for a period of at least 30 days. Accordingly, the total
principal amount of the securities may include a portion that was not purchased by investors on the original issue date. Any unsold
portion held by our affiliate(s) may affect the supply of securities available for secondary trading and, therefore, could adversely
affect the price of the securities in the secondary market. Circumstances may occur in which our interests or those of our affiliates
could be in conflict with your interests.

Additional Information Regarding Our Estimated
Value of the Securities
Our internal pricing models take into account a number of variables
and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which may or may not materialize, typically including volatility, interest
rates and our internal funding rates. Our internal funding rates (which are our internally published borrowing rates based on variables,
such as market benchmarks, our appetite for borrowing and our existing obligations coming to maturity) may vary from the levels
at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. Our estimated value on the pricing date is based on our internal
funding rates. Our estimated value of the securities might be lower if such valuation were based on the levels at which our benchmark
debt securities trade in the secondary market.
Our estimated value of the securities on the pricing date is
less than the initial issue price of the securities. The difference between the initial issue price of the securities and our estimated
value of the securities results from several factors, including any sales commissions to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another
affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries,
the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the securities, the estimated
cost that we may incur in hedging our obligations under the securities, and estimated development and other costs that we may incur
in connection with the securities.
Our estimated value on the pricing date is not a prediction of
the price at which the securities may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may
buy or sell the securities in the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, Barclays Capital Inc. or another
affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the securities in the secondary market but it is not obligated to do so.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the
pricing date, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, if any,
and the value that we may initially use for customer account statements, if we provide any customer account statements at all,
may exceed our estimated value on the pricing date for a temporary period expected to be approximately 40 days after the initial
issue date of the securities because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated
cost of hedging our obligations under the securities and other costs in connection with the securities that we will no longer expect
to incur over the term of the securities. We made such discretionary election and determined this temporary reimbursement period
on the basis of a number of factors, which may include the tenor of the securities and/or any agreement we may have with the distributors
of the securities. The amount of our estimated costs that we effectively reimburse to investors in this way may not be allocated
ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the
reimbursement period after the initial issue date of the securities based on changes in market conditions and other factors that
cannot be predicted.
We urge you to read “Risk Factors” beginning on
page 13 of this document.

Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power
Notwithstanding any

the exercise of, any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority.
Under the U.K. Banking
Act 2009, as amended, the relevant U.K. resolution authority may exercise a U.K. Bail-in Power in circumstances in which the relevant
U.K. resolution authority is satisfied that the resolution conditions are met. These conditions include that a U.K. bank or investment
firm is failing or is likely to fail to satisfy the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) threshold
conditions for authorization to carry on certain regulated activities (within the meaning of section 55B FSMA) or, in the case
of a U.K. banking group company that is a European Economic Area (“EEA”) or third country institution or investment
firm, that the relevant EEA or third country relevant authority is satisfied that the resolution conditions are met in respect
of that entity.
The U.K. Bail-in Power
includes any write-down, conversion, transfer, modification and/or suspension power, which allows for (i) the reduction or cancellation
of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the securities; (ii) the conversion
of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the securities into shares or other
securities or other obligations of Barclays Bank PLC or another person (and the issue to, or conferral on, the holder or beneficial
owner of the securities such shares, securities or obligations); and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the
securities, or amendment of the amount of interest or any other amounts due on the securities, or the dates on which interest or
any other amounts become payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; which U.K. Bail-in Power may be exercised
by means of a variation of the terms of the securities solely to give effect to the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution authority
of such U.K. Bail-in Power. Each holder and beneficial owner of the securities further acknowledges and agrees that the rights
of the holders or beneficial owners of the securities are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to give effect to,
the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority. For the avoidance of doubt, this consent and
acknowledgment is not a waiver of any rights holders or beneficial owners of the securities may have at law if and to the extent
that any U.K. Bail-in Power is exercised by the relevant U.K. resolution authority in breach of laws applicable in England.

please see “Risk Factors—You may lose some or all of your investment if any U.K. bail-in power is exercised by the

Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

Investment Summary
Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities
Principal at Risk Securities
The Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due November 12,
2021 Based on the Value of the Worse Performing of the Class A Common Stock of Mastercard Incorporated and the Class A Common Stock
of Visa Inc., which we refer to as the securities, provide an opportunity for investors to receive a contingent quarterly payment,
which is an amount equal to $0.225 (2.25% of the stated principal amount), with respect to each quarterly determination date on
which the closing price of each underlier is greater than or equal to 75% of its initial underlier value, which we refer to as
a downside threshold level. However, if the closing price of either underlier is less than its downside threshold level on a determination
date, investors will not receive any contingent quarterly payment for that determination date. The closing price of at least one
of the underliers could be below its downside threshold level on most or all of the determination dates so that you receive few
or no contingent quarterly payments over the term of the securities.
If the closing price of each underlier is greater than or equal
to its initial underlier value on any determination date (other than the final determination date), the securities will be automatically
redeemed for an early redemption payment equal to the stated principal amount plus the contingent quarterly payment otherwise
due. If the securities are automatically redeemed prior to maturity, investors will receive no further contingent quarterly payments.
At maturity, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final underlier value of each underlier is greater than
or equal to its downside threshold level, the payment at maturity will be equal to the stated principal amount plus the contingent
quarterly payment otherwise due. However, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final underlier value of
either underlier is less than its downside threshold level, investors will lose 1% of the stated principal amount for every 1%
that the final underlier value of the worse performing underlier is less than its initial underlier value. Under these circumstances,
the amount investors receive will be less than 75% of the stated principal amount and could be zero. Investors in the securities
must be willing and able to accept the risk of losing their entire initial investment based on the performance of the worse performing
underlier and also the risk of not receiving any contingent quarterly payment throughout the entire term of the securities. In
addition, investors will not participate in any appreciation of either underlier.
Key Investment Rationale
The securities are for investors who are willing and able to
risk their principal and forgo guaranteed interest payments, in exchange for the opportunity to receive contingent quarterly payments
at a potentially above-market rate, subject to automatic early redemption. The securities offer investors an opportunity to receive
a contingent quarterly payment of $0.225 (2.25% of the stated principal amount) with respect to each determination date on which
the closing price of each underlier is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level. In addition, the following scenarios
reflect the potential payment on the securities, if any, upon an automatic early redemption or at maturity:
Scenario 1
|
On any determination date (other than the
final determination date), the closing price of each underlier is greater than or equal to its initial underlier value.
§ The
securities will be automatically redeemed for (i) the stated principal amount plus (ii) the contingent quarterly payment
otherwise due.
§ Investors
will not participate in any appreciation of either underlier from its initial underlier value and will receive no further contingent
quarterly payments.
|
Scenario 2
|
The securities are not automatically redeemed
prior to maturity and the final underlier value of each underlier is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level.
§ The
payment due at maturity will be (i) the stated principal amount plus (ii) the contingent quarterly payment otherwise due.
§ Investors
will not participate in any appreciation of either underlier from its initial underlier value.
|
Scenario 3
|
The securities are not automatically redeemed
prior to maturity and the final underlier value of either underlier is less than its downside threshold level.
§ The
payment due at maturity will be equal to the stated principal amount times the underlier performance factor of the worse
performing underlier. In this case, at maturity, the securities pay less than 75% of the stated principal amount and the percentage
loss of the stated principal amount will be equal to the percentage decrease in the final underlier value of the worse performing
underlier from its initial underlier value. For example, if the final underlier value of the worse performing underlier is
55% less than its initial underlier value, the securities will pay $4.50 per security, or 45% of the stated principal amount,
for a loss of 55% of the stated principal amount. Investors will lose a significant portion and may lose all of their
principal in this scenario.

Hypothetical Examples
The numbers appearing in the following examples may have been
rounded for ease of analysis. The examples below assume that the securities will be held until maturity or earlier redemption and
do not take into account the tax consequences of an investment in the securities. The examples below are based on the following
terms:*
Hypothetical Initial Underlier Values:
|
With respect to each underlier: $100.00
|
Hypothetical Downside Threshold Levels:
|
With respect to each underlier: $75.000, which is 75% of its hypothetical initial underlier value
|
Contingent Quarterly Payment:
|
$0.225 (2.25% of the stated principal amount)
|
Stated Principal Amount:
|
$10 per security
|
* Terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not
represent the actual initial underlier values or downside threshold levels applicable to the securities. In particular, the hypothetical
initial underlier value of $100.00 for each underlier used in these examples has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and
does not represent the actual initial underlier value for either underlier. Please see “Mastercard Incorporated Overview”
and “Visa Inc. Overview” below for recent actual values of the underliers. The actual initial underlier values and
downside threshold levels applicable to the securities are set forth on the cover page of this document.
The examples below are based on the worse performing underlier
as of each determination date. We make no representation or warranty as to which of the underliers will be the worse performing
underlier for the purpose of calculating the payment at maturity, if applicable, or as to what the closing price of either underlier
will be on any determination date. For purposes of the examples below, the “worse performing underlier” on any determination
date will be the underlier with the larger percentage decline from its initial underlier value to its closing price on that determination
date.
In Examples 1 and 2, the closing price of each underlier is greater
than or equal to its hypothetical initial underlier value of $100.00 on one of the determination dates prior to the final determination
date. Because the closing price of each underlier is greater than or equal to its initial underlier value on one of the determination
dates prior to the final determination date, the securities are automatically redeemed following the relevant determination date.
In Examples 3 and 4, the closing price of at least one of the underliers on the determination dates prior to the final determination
date is less than its initial underlier value, and, consequently, the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to, and remain
outstanding until, maturity.

* If the securities are automatically redeemed, the early redemption
payment will include the contingent quarterly payment otherwise due.
In Example 1, the securities are automatically redeemed following
the second determination date, as the closing price of each underlier on the second determination date is greater than or equal
to its initial underlier value. Following the second determination date, you receive the early redemption payment, calculated as
follows:
stated
principal amount + contingent quarterly payment = $10 + $0.225 = $10.225
In this example, the automatic early redemption feature limits
the term of your investment to approximately 6 months and you may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns. If the
securities are redeemed early, you will stop receiving contingent quarterly payments.
In Example 2, the securities are automatically redeemed following
the seventh determination date, as the closing price of each underlier on the seventh determination date is greater than its initial
underlier value. As the closing prices of each underlier on the first, fourth and fifth determination dates are greater than or
equal to its downside threshold level, you receive the contingent quarterly payment of $0.225 with respect to those determination
dates. Following the seventh determination date, you receive an early redemption payment of $10.225, which includes the contingent
quarterly payment with respect to that determination date.
In this example, the automatic early redemption feature limits
the term of your investment to approximately 21 months and you may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns. If the
securities are redeemed early, you will stop receiving contingent quarterly payments. Further, although the worse performing underlier
has appreciated by 25% from its initial underlier value on the seventh determination date, upon automatic early redemption, you
receive only $10.225 per security and do not benefit from the appreciation of either underlier.

* The final contingent quarterly payment, if any, will be paid

Examples 3 and 4 illustrate the payment at maturity per security
based on the final underlier value of the worse performing underlier.
In Example 3, the closing price of at least one underlier is
below its downside threshold level on each determination date throughout the term of the securities. As a result, you do not receive
any contingent quarterly payments during the term of the securities even if the closing price of the other underlier on any of
the determination dates has appreciated or has not declined below its downside threshold level. In addition, because the final
underlier value of the worse performing underlier is less than its downside threshold level, at maturity, you are fully exposed
to the decline in the closing price of the worse performing underlier. Thus, investors will receive a cash payment at maturity
that is significantly less than the stated principal amount per security, calculated as follows:
($10
× underlier performance factor of the worse performing underlier)
=
$10 × (final underlier value of the worse performing underlier / initial underlier value of the worse performing underlier)
= $10
× ($50.00 / $100.00) = $5.00
In this example, the cash payment you receive at maturity
is significantly less than the stated principal amount.
In Example 4, the closing price of at least one underlier is
below its downside threshold level on each of the determination dates prior to the final determination date. As a result, you do
not receive any contingent quarterly payments following those determination dates, even if the closing price of the other underlier
on those determination dates has appreciated or has not declined below its downside threshold level. In addition, the closing price
of the worse performing underlier decreases to a final underlier value of $75.00. Although the final underlier value of the worse
performing underlier is less than its initial underlier value, because the final underlier value of the worse performing underlier
is still not less than its downside threshold level, you receive the stated principal amount plus a contingent quarterly
payment. Your payment at maturity is calculated as follows:
$10
+ $0.225 = $10.225
In this example, although the final underlier value of the
worse performing underlier represents a 25% decline from its initial underlier value, you receive the stated principal amount per
security plus the contingent quarterly payment otherwise due, equal to a total payment of $10.225 per security at maturity.

Risk Factors
An investment in the securities involves significant risks.
We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the securities. Investing
in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in either or both of the underliers. Some of the risks that apply to
an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating to
the securities generally in the “Risk Factors” section of the prospectus supplement. You should not purchase the securities
unless you understand and can bear the risks of investing in the securities.
|
§
|
The securities do not guarantee the return of any
principal. The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the securities do not guarantee
the return of any of the stated principal amount at maturity. Instead, if the securities have not been automatically redeemed prior
to maturity and if the final underlier value of either underlier is less than its downside threshold level, you will be exposed
to the decline in the closing price of the worse performing underlier, as compared to its initial underlier value, on a 1-to-1
basis and you will receive for each security that you hold at maturity an amount in cash equal to the stated principal amount times
the underlier performance factor of the worse performing underlier. Under these circumstances, your payment at maturity will be
less than 75% of the stated principal amount and could be zero.
|
|
§
|
You will not receive any contingent quarterly payment for any quarterly period where the closing
price of either underlier on the applicable determination date is less than its downside threshold level. The terms of the
securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that they do not provide for regular interest payments. Instead, a
contingent quarterly payment will be made with respect to a quarterly period only if the closing price of each underlier is greater
than or equal to its downside threshold level on the related determination date. If the closing price of either underlier is below
its downside threshold level on any determination date, you will not receive a contingent quarterly payment for the related quarterly
period. The closing price of either underlier could be below its downside threshold level on most or all of the determination dates
so that you receive few or no contingent quarterly payments over the term of the securities. If you do not receive sufficient contingent
quarterly payments over the term of the securities, the overall return on the securities may be less than the amount that would
be paid on a conventional debt security of the issuer of comparable maturity.
|
|
§
|
Credit of issuer. The securities are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of
the issuer, Barclays Bank PLC, and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment to be
made on the securities, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the ability of Barclays Bank PLC to satisfy its obligations
as they come due and is not guaranteed by any third party. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of Barclays Bank
PLC may affect the market value of the securities and, in the event Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its obligations, you might
not receive any amount owed to you under the terms of the securities.
|
|
§
|
You may lose some or all of your investment if any U.K. Bail-in Power
is exercised by the relevant U.K. resolution authority. Notwithstanding any other agreements, arrangements or understandings
between Barclays Bank PLC and any holder or beneficial owner of the securities, by acquiring the securities, each holder and beneficial
owner of the securities acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by, and consents to the exercise of, any U.K. Bail-in Power by
the relevant U.K. resolution authority as set forth under “Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power” in this document. Accordingly,
any U.K. Bail-in Power may be exercised in such a manner as to result in you and other holders and beneficial owners of the securities
losing all or a part of the value of your investment in the securities or receiving a different security from the securities, which
may be worth significantly less than the securities and which may have significantly fewer protections than those typically afforded
to debt securities. Moreover, the relevant U.K. resolution authority may exercise the U.K. Bail-in Power without providing any
advance notice to, or requiring the consent of, the holders and beneficial owners of the securities. The exercise of any U.K. Bail-in
Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the securities will not be a default or an Event of Default (as
each term is defined in the senior debt securities indenture) and the trustee will not be liable for any action that the trustee
takes, or abstains from taking, in either case, in accordance with the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K.
resolution authority with respect to the securities. See “Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power” in this document as well as
“U.K. Bail-in Power,” “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Securities Generally—Regulatory action
in the event a bank or investment firm in the Group is failing or likely to fail could materially adversely affect the value of
the securities” and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Securities Generally—Under the terms of the securities,
you have agreed to be bound by the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority” in the accompanying
prospectus supplement.
|
|
§
|
You are exposed to the market risk of each underlier, with respect to both the contingent
quarterly payments, if any, and the payment at maturity, if any. Your return on the securities is not linked to a basket consisting
of each underlier. Rather, it will be contingent upon the independent performance of each underlier. Unlike an instrument with
a return linked to a basket of underlying assets in which risk is mitigated and diversified among all the components of the basket,
you will be exposed to the risks related to each underlier. Poor performance by either underlier over the term of the securities
may negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by any positive performance by the other underlier. To receive
any contingent quarterly payments, each underlier must close at or above its downside threshold level on the applicable determination
date. In addition, if the securities have not been automatically redeemed early and either underlier has declined to below its
downside threshold level as of the final determination date, you will be fully exposed to the decline in the worse performing underlier
over the term of the securities on a 1-to-1 basis, even if the other underlier has appreciated or has not declined as much. Under
this scenario, the value of any such payment will be less than 75% of the stated principal amount and could be zero. Accordingly,
your investment is subject to the market risk of each underlier.

|
§
|
Because the securities are linked to the performance of the worse performing underlier, you
are exposed to greater risks of no contingent quarterly payments and sustaining a significant loss on your investment than if the
securities were linked to just one underlier. The risk that you will not receive any contingent quarterly payments, or that
you will suffer a significant loss on your investment, is greater if you invest in the securities as opposed to substantially similar
securities that are linked to the performance of just one underlier. With two underliers, it is more likely that either underlier
will close below its downside threshold level on any determination date than if the securities were linked to only one underlier,
and therefore it is more likely that you will not receive any contingent quarterly payments and that you will suffer a significant
loss on your investment. In addition, because each underlier must close above its initial underlier value on a quarterly determination
date (other than the final determination date) in order for the securities to be redeemed prior to maturity, the securities are
less likely to be redeemed on any determination date (other than the final determination date) than if the securities were linked
to just one underlier.
|
|
§
|
Automatic early redemption risk. The term of your investment in the securities may be
limited to as short as approximately three months by the automatic early redemption feature of the securities. If the securities
are redeemed prior to maturity, no further contingent quarterly payments will be made on the securities and you may be forced to
reinvest in a lower interest rate environment. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment
in the securities in a comparable investment with a similar level of risk in the event the securities are redeemed prior to the
maturity date.
|
|
§
|
Contingent repayment of principal applies only at maturity. You should be willing and
able to hold the securities to maturity. If you sell the securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, if any, you may
have to sell the securities at a loss relative to your initial investment even if the price of each underlier is above its downside
threshold level.
|
|
§
|
You will not participate in any appreciation in the value of either underlier. You will
not participate in any appreciation in the value of either underlier from its initial underlier value even though you will be exposed
to the depreciation in the value of the worse performing underlier if the securities have not been redeemed prior to maturity and
the final underlier value of the worse performing underlier is less than its downside threshold level. The return on the securities
will be limited to the contingent quarterly payment that is paid with respect to each determination date on which the closing price
of each underlier is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level.
|
|
§
|
The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange, and secondary trading may be
limited. Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC intend to offer to purchase the securities in the
secondary market but are not required to do so and may cease any such market making activities at any time, without notice. Even
if a secondary market develops, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the securities easily. Because
other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the securities, the price, if any, at which you may be able to trade
your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank
PLC are willing to buy the securities. In addition, Barclays Capital Inc. or one or more of our other affiliates may at any time
hold an unsold portion of the securities (as described on the cover page of this document), which may inhibit the development of
a secondary market for the securities. The securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should
be willing and able to hold your securities to maturity.
|
|
§
|
The securities are subject to volatility risk. Volatility
is a measure of the degree of variation in the prices of the underliers over a period of time. The contingent quarterly payment
will be determined on the pricing date based on a number of factors, including the expected volatility of the underliers. The contingent
quarterly payment will be higher than the fixed rate that we would pay on a conventional debt security of the same tenor and will
be higher than it otherwise would have been had the expected volatility of the underliers, calculated as of the pricing date, been
lower. As volatility of an underlier increases, there will typically be a greater likelihood that (a) the closing price of that
underlier will be less than its downside threshold level on one or more determination dates and (b) the final underlier value of
that underlier will be less than its downside threshold level.
|
Accordingly, you should understand
that a higher contingent quarterly payment will reflect, among other things, an indication of a greater likelihood that you will
(a) not receive contingent quarterly payments with respect to one or more determination dates and/or (b) incur a loss of principal
at maturity than would have been the case had the contingent quarterly payment been lower. In addition, actual volatility over
the term of the securities may be significantly higher than the expected volatility at the time the terms of the securities were
determined. If actual volatility is higher than expected, you will face an even greater risk that you will not receive contingent
quarterly payments and/or that you will lose a significant portion or all of your principal at maturity for the reasons described
above.
|
§
|
The contingent quarterly payment is based solely on the closing price of each underlier on
the determination dates. Whether the contingent quarterly payment will be made with respect to a determination date will be
based on the closing price of each underlier on that determination date. As a result, you will not know whether you will receive
the contingent quarterly payment with respect to a quarterly period until the related determination date. Moreover, because each
contingent quarterly payment is based solely on the closing price of each underlier on a specific determination date, if the closing
price of either underlier on that determination date is less than its downside threshold level, you will not receive any contingent
quarterly payment with respect to the related quarterly period, even if the closing price of that underlier was higher on other
days during the term of the securities.

|
§
|
Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in either or both underliers. Investors
in the securities will not own either or both underliers or have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions
or any other rights with respect to either or both underliers.
|
|
§
|
No affiliation with the issuers of the underliers. The issuers
of the underliers are not affiliates of ours, are not involved with this offering in any way, and have no obligation to consider
your interests in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of the securities. We have not made any due diligence
inquiry with respect to the issuer of either underlier in connection with this offering.
|
|
§
|
Single equity risk. The price of each underlier can rise or fall
sharply due to factors specific to each underlier and its issuer, such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial conditions,
corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market factors,
such as general stock market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions. We urge you to review
financial and other information filed periodically with the SEC by the issuer of each underlier.
|
|
§
|
We may engage in business with or involving any issuer of either
underlier without regard to your interests. We or our affiliates may presently or from time to time engage in business with
any issuer of either underlier without regard to your interests and thus may acquire non-public information about any issuer of
either underlier. Neither we nor any of our affiliates undertakes to disclose any such information to you. In addition, we or our
affiliates from time to time have published and in the future may publish research reports with respect to any issuer of either
underlier, which may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold either underlier.
|
|
§
|
Anti-dilution protection is limited, and the calculation agent has
discretion to make anti-dilution adjustments. The calculation agent may in its sole discretion make adjustments affecting the
amounts payable on the securities upon the occurrence of certain corporate events (such as stock splits or extraordinary or special
dividends) that the calculation agent determines have a diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of an underlier.
However, the calculation agent might not make such adjustments in response to all events that could affect an underlier. The occurrence
of any such event and any adjustment made by the calculation agent (or a determination by the calculation agent not to make any
adjustment) may adversely affect the market price of, and any amounts payable on, the securities. See “Reference Assets—Equity
Securities—Share Adjustments Relating to Securities with an Equity Security as a Reference Asset” in the accompanying
prospectus supplement.
|
|
§
|
Reorganization or other events could adversely affect the value of
the securities or result in the securities being accelerated. Upon the occurrence of certain reorganization events or a nationalization,
expropriation, liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency or de-listing of an underlier, the calculation agent will make adjustments to
that underlier that may result in payments on the securities being based on the performance of shares, cash or other assets distributed
to holders of the underlier upon the occurrence of such event or, in some cases, the calculation agent may accelerate the maturity
date for a payment determined by the calculation agent. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the relevant underlier
and, consequently, the value of the securities. Any amount payable upon acceleration could be significantly less than the amount(s)
that would be due on the securities if they were not accelerated. See “Reference Assets—Equity Securities—Share
Adjustments Relating to Securities with an Equity Security as a Reference Asset” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
|
|
§
|
Hedging and trading activity by the issuer and its affiliates could potentially adversely
affect the value of the securities. Hedging or trading activities of the issuer’s affiliates and of any other hedging
counterparty with respect to the securities could adversely affect the values of the underliers and, as a result, could decrease
the amount an investor may receive on the securities at maturity, if any. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior
to the pricing date could have increased the initial underlier values and, as a result, the downside threshold levels, which are
the prices at or above which the respective underliers must close on each determination date in order for you to receive a contingent
quarterly payment or, if the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, in order for you to avoid being exposed to the negative
price performance of the worse performing underlier at maturity. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term
of the securities could potentially affect the values of the underliers on the determination dates and, accordingly, whether investors
will receive one or more contingent quarterly payments, whether the securities are automatically redeemed prior to maturity and,
if the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, the payment at maturity, if any.
|
|
§
|
The market price of the securities will be influenced by many unpredictable factors. Several
factors will influence the value of the securities in the secondary market and the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other
affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC may be willing to purchase or sell the securities in the secondary market. Although we expect that
generally the values of the underliers on any day will affect the value of the securities more than any other single factor, other
factors that may influence the value of the securities include:
|
|
o
|
the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of each underlier;
|
|
o
|
whether the closing price of either underlier has been, or is expected to be, below its downside threshold level on any determination
date;
|
|
o
|
correlation (or lack of correlation) of the underliers;

The values of the underliers may be, and have recently
been, volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen. See “Mastercard Incorporated Overview”
and “Visa Inc. Overview” below. You may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount
per security if you try to sell your securities prior to maturity.
|
§
|
The estimated value of your securities is lower than the initial issue price of your securities.
The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is lower than the initial issue price of your securities. The difference
between the initial issue price of your securities and the estimated value of the securities is a result of certain factors, such
as any sales commissions to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts,
commissions or fees to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates
expect to earn in connection with structuring the securities, the estimated cost that we may incur in hedging our obligations under
the securities, and estimated development and other costs that we may incur in connection with the securities.
|
|
§
|
The estimated value of your securities might be lower if such estimated value were based on
the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market. The estimated value of your securities on the pricing
date is based on a number of variables, including our internal funding rates. Our internal funding rates may vary from the levels
at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. As a result of this difference, the estimated value referenced
above might be lower if such estimated value were based on the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary
market.
|
|
§
|
The estimated value of the securities is based on our internal pricing models, which may prove
to be inaccurate and may be different from the pricing models of other financial institutions. The estimated value of your
securities on the pricing date is based on our internal pricing models, which take into account a number of variables and are based
on a number of subjective assumptions, which may or may not materialize. These variables and assumptions are not evaluated or verified
on an independent basis. Further, our pricing models may be different from other financial institutions’ pricing models and
the methodologies used by us to estimate the value of the securities may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions
that may be purchasers or sellers of securities in the secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price of your securities
may be materially different from the estimated value of the securities determined by reference to our internal pricing models.
|
|
§
|
The estimated value of your securities is not a prediction of the prices at which you may
sell your securities in the secondary market, if any, and such secondary market prices, if any, will likely be lower than the initial
issue price of your securities and may be lower than the estimated value of your securities. The estimated value of the securities
will not be a prediction of the prices at which Barclays Capital Inc., other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing
to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not obligated
to do). The price at which you may be able to sell your securities in the secondary market at any time will be influenced by many
factors that cannot be predicted, such as market conditions, and any bid and ask spread for similar sized trades, and may be substantially
less than our estimated value of the securities. Further, as secondary market prices of your securities take into account the levels
at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market, and do not take into account our various costs related to the securities
such as fees, commissions, discounts, and the costs of hedging our obligations under the securities, secondary market prices of
your securities will likely be lower than the initial issue price of your securities. As a result, the price at which Barclays
Capital Inc., other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market
transactions, if any, will likely be lower than the price you paid for your securities, and any sale prior to the maturity date
could result in a substantial loss to you.
|
|
§
|
The temporary price at which we may initially buy the securities in the secondary market and
the value we may initially use for customer account statements, if we provide any customer account statements at all, may not be
indicative of future prices of your securities. Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the pricing date,
the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market (if Barclays Capital
Inc. makes a market in the securities, which it is not obligated to do) and the value that we may initially use for customer account
statements, if we provide any customer account statements at all, may exceed our estimated value of the securities on the pricing
date, as well as the secondary market value of the securities, for a temporary period after the initial issue date of the securities.
The price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market and the value that we
may initially use for customer account statements may not be indicative of future prices of your securities.

We and our affiliates, and any dealer participating in the distribution of the securities, may engage in various activities
or make determinations that could materially affect your securities in various ways and create conflicts of interest. We and
our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, as described below. In performing these
roles, our and our affiliates’ economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities.
|
In connection with our normal business
activities and in connection with hedging our obligations under the securities, we and our affiliates make markets in and trade
various financial instruments or products for our accounts and for the account of our clients and otherwise provide investment
banking and other financial services with respect to these financial instruments and products. These financial instruments and
products may include securities, derivative instruments or assets that may relate to the underliers. In any such market making,
trading and hedging activity, investment banking and other financial services, we or our affiliates may take positions or take
actions that are inconsistent with, or adverse to, the investment objectives of the holders of the securities. We and our affiliates
have no obligation to take the needs of any buyer, seller or holder of the securities into account in conducting these activities.
Such market making, trading and hedging activity, investment banking and other financial services may negatively impact the value
of the securities.
In addition, the role played by Barclays
Capital Inc., as the agent for the securities, could present significant conflicts of interest with the role of Barclays Bank PLC,
as issuer of the securities. For example, Barclays Capital Inc. or its representatives may derive compensation or financial benefit
from the distribution of the securities and such compensation or financial benefit may serve as an incentive to sell the securities
instead of other investments. Furthermore, we and our affiliates establish the offering price of the securities for initial sale
to the public, and the offering price is not based upon any independent verification or valuation.
Furthermore, if any dealer participating
in the distribution of the securities or any of its affiliates conducts hedging activities for us in connection with the securities,
that participating dealer or its affiliates will expect to realize a projected profit from such hedging activities, and this projected
profit will be in addition to any selling concession that the participating dealer realizes for the sale of the securities to you. This
additional projected profit may create a further incentive for the participating dealer to sell the securities to you.
In addition to the activities described
above, we will also act as the calculation agent for the securities. As calculation agent, we will determine any values of the
underliers and make any other determinations necessary to calculate any payments on the securities. In making these determinations,
we may be required to make discretionary judgments, including determining whether a market disruption event has occurred on any
date that the value of an underlier is to be determined; determining whether to adjust any variable described herein in the case
of certain corporate events related to an underlier that the calculation agent determines have a diluting or concentrative effect
on the theoretical value of the shares of that underlier; and determining whether to accelerate the maturity date upon the occurrence
of certain reorganization events and additional adjustment events. In making these discretionary judgments, our economic interests
are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities, and any of these determinations may adversely affect
any payments on the securities.

Additional Information about the Securities
Please read this information in conjunction with the terms on
the cover page of this document.
Additional provisions:

|
Minimum ticketing size:
|
$1,000 / 100 securities
|
Tax considerations:
|
You should review carefully the sections entitled “Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as Prepaid Forward or Derivative
Contracts with Associated Contingent Coupons” and, if you are a non-U.S. holder, “—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S.
Holders,” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
In determining our reporting responsibilities, if any, we intend
to treat (i) the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons
and (ii) any contingent quarterly payments as ordinary income, as described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as Prepaid Forward or Derivative Contracts with
Associated Contingent Coupons” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. Our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell
LLP, has advised that it believes this treatment to be reasonable, but that there are other reasonable treatments that the Internal
Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a court may adopt.
Sale, exchange or redemption of a security. Assuming the
treatment described above is respected, upon a sale or exchange of the securities (including redemption upon an automatic call
or at maturity), you should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or exchange
and your tax basis in the securities, which should equal the amount you paid to acquire the securities (assuming contingent quarterly
payments are properly treated as ordinary income, consistent with the position referred to above). This gain or loss should be
short-term capital gain or loss unless you hold the securities for more than one year, in which case the gain or loss should be
long-term capital gain or loss, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of the securities at the issue price. The deductibility
of capital losses is subject to limitations. If you sell your securities between the time your right to a contingent quarterly
payment is fixed and the time it is paid, it is likely that you will be treated as receiving ordinary income equal to the contingent
quarterly payment. Although uncertain, it is possible that proceeds received from the sale or exchange of your securities prior
to a determination date but that can be attributed to an expected contingent quarterly payment could be treated as ordinary income.
You should consult your tax advisor regarding this issue.
As noted above, there are other reasonable treatments that the
IRS or a court may adopt, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the securities could be materially affected.
In addition, in 2007 the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income
tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to
require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number
of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments and the relevance of factors such
as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked. While the notice requests comments on appropriate
transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues
could materially affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult
your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative
treatments and the issues presented by this notice.
Non-U.S. holders. Insofar as we have responsibility as
a withholding agent, we do not currently intend to treat contingent quarterly payments to non-U.S. holders (as defined in the accompanying
prospectus supplement) as subject to U.S. withholding tax. However, non-U.S. holders should in any event expect to be required
to provide appropriate Forms W-8 or other documentation in order to establish an exemption from backup withholding, as described
under the heading “—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
If any withholding is required, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld.
Treasury regulations under Section
871(m) generally impose a withholding tax on certain “dividend equivalents” under certain “equity linked instruments.”
A recent IRS notice excludes from the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1, 2021 that do not have a “delta
of one” with respect to underlying securities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes
(each an “Underlying Security”). Based on our determination that the securities do not have a “delta of one”
within the meaning of the regulations, our special tax counsel is of the opinion that these regulations should not apply to the
securities with regard to non-U.S. holders. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination.
Section 871(m) is

Use of proceeds and hedging:
|
The net proceeds we receive from the sale
of the securities will be used for various corporate purposes as set forth in the prospectus and prospectus supplement and,
in part, in connection with hedging our obligations under the securities through one or more of our subsidiaries.
We, through our subsidiaries or
others, hedge our anticipated exposure in connection with the securities by taking positions in futures and options contracts
on the underliers and any other securities or instruments we may wish to use in connection with such hedging. Trading and
other transactions by us or our affiliates could affect the values of the underliers, the market value of the securities or any
amounts payable on the securities. For further information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see “Use of Proceeds
and Hedging” in the prospectus supplement.

Validity of the securities:
|
In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special United States products counsel to Barclays Bank PLC, when the securities offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by Barclays Bank PLC and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture, and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such securities will be valid and binding obligations of Barclays Bank PLC, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith) and possible judicial or regulatory actions giving effect to governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights, provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York. Insofar as this opinion involves matters governed by English law, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP has relied, with Barclays Bank PLC’s permission, on the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell London LLP, dated as of June 14, 2019, filed as an exhibit to a report on Form 6-K by Barclays Bank PLC on June 14, 2019, and this opinion is subject to the same assumptions, qualifications and limitations as set forth in such opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell London LLP. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and its authentication of the securities and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the indenture with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the letter of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, dated June 14, 2019, which has been filed as an exhibit to the report on Form 6-K referred to above.
