Private Bank Ireland Open Banking Metrics

Since June 2020, you’ve been able to share your Barclays Private Banking data with other companies so that you can use their services and make payments through them1. For example, you might want to share your data with a company that lets you operate all your accounts from one place. This is called ‘Open Banking’.

To make sure you’re getting the best service from us when you use Open Banking, we’ve put together the data below, which tells you how well we’re performing. It shows how fast our service has been and whether there have been times when it isn’t available.

The metrics shown are for the period outlined below.
