You’ll oversee cash forecasting and cash positioning activities, developing the processes, tools, and controls needed to ensure efficient liquidity management and uninterrupted payment flows to merchants.

This is a unique opportunity to shape a critical capability within a growing payments business while playing a hands‑on role in the migration to a new platform.

You’ll work closely with banking partners to optimise liquidity arrangements, maintain direct bank connectivity, and implement solutions such as intraday liquidity facilities to support business growth.

Barclays’ payments acceptance business provides critical infrastructure to the UK economy, processing billions of pounds of payments annually for both small businesses and domestic and international corporate clients.

In April 2025, we announced a long‑term partnership with Brookfield Asset Management to grow and transform the payments acceptance business by broadening the range of services offered, enhancing the experience for both existing and prospective clients.

Leveraging extensive client relationships and deep experience of UK payments, we will create an environment of continuous innovation - activated by Brookfield’s global private equity expertise in payments, technology, operational transformation and corporate carve‑outs - to ensure the business is strategically positioned for long‑term growth.

Barclays will invest approximately £400m in the new business, the majority of which will be incurred during the first three years.

Performance‑linked incentives will drive greater alignment between the partners, underpinning the long‑term commitment to the transformation.

Barclays and Brookfield will work to create a standalone entity over time, continuing to use the Barclaycard Payments (BPL) brand and acting as the sole payments acceptance services provider to Barclays’ clients for a minimum of ten years.
