Autocallable Knock-Out Absolute Return
Digital Notes due April 26, 2027
Linked to the S&P 500® Index
Global Medium-Term Notes,
Series A |
Unlike ordinary debt securities, the Notes do not pay interest. Instead,
as described below, if the Notes are not automatically redeemed (because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred), the Notes offer (i) a fixed
return at maturity if the Final Underlier Value is greater than or equal to the Initial Underlier Value and (ii) an unleveraged positive
return based on any potential depreciation of the Underlier from the Initial Underlier Value to the Final Underlier Value, subject to
a maximum return of 15.00%. A Knock-Out Event occurs if, on any scheduled trading day during the Monitoring Period, the Closing Value
of the Underlier is less than the Knock-Out Value. Investors should be willing to forgo dividend payments and, if a Knock-Out Event occurs,
be willing to receive no more than their investment upon automatic redemption.

Automatic Redemption Following a Knock-Out Event: |
If a Knock-Out Event occurs, the Notes will be automatically redeemed on the related Redemption Settlement Date and you will receive a payment of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note. No further amounts will be payable on the Notes after they have been automatically redeemed. If a Knock-Out Event occurs, you will receive only the principal amount of your Notes on the related Redemption Settlement Date and will not participate in any depreciation of the Underlier, which may be significant. A Knock-Out Event can occur on any scheduled trading day during the Monitoring Period, including on the Final Valuation Date. |
Payment at Maturity: |
If the Notes are not automatically
redeemed (because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred), you will receive on the Maturity Date a cash payment per $1,000 principal amount
Note determined as follows:
§
If
the Final Underlier Value is greater than or equal to the Initial Underlier Value, you will receive a payment per $1,000
principal amount Note calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Digital
Percentage)
§
If
the Final Underlier Value is less than the Initial Underlier Value, you will receive a payment per $1,000 principal amount Note
calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Absolute
Value Return)
If the Notes are not automatically redeemed (because a Knock-Out
Event has not occurred) and the Final Underlier Value is less than the Initial Underlier Value, you will receive at maturity a positive
1% return on the Notes for each 1% that the Final Underlier Value is less than the Initial Underlier Value. Under these circumstances,
the Knock-Out Value is effectively a cap on your investment and your return on the Notes will not exceed 15.00%. Any payment on the Notes,
including any repayment of principal, is not guaranteed by any third party and is subject to (a) the creditworthiness of Barclays Bank
PLC and (b) the risk of exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power (as described on page PS-4 of this pricing supplement) by the relevant U.K.
resolution authority. See “Selected Risk Considerations” and “Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power” in this pricing
supplement and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. |
Knock-Out Event: |
A Knock-Out Event occurs if, on any scheduled trading day during the Monitoring Period, the Closing Value of the Underlier is less than the Knock-Out Value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a market disruption event occurs on any scheduled trading day (other than the Final Valuation Date), the Closing Value of the Underlier on that day will be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a Knock-Out Event has occurred. |
Monitoring Period: |
The period from but excluding the Initial Valuation Date to and including the Final Valuation Date |
Digital Percentage: |
5.60% |
Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power: |
Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of the Notes or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between Barclays Bank PLC and any holder or beneficial owner of the Notes (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the Notes), by acquiring the Notes, each holder or beneficial owner of the Notes 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.

by the investment advisor or manager of such account based on the amount of assets held in those accounts, including the Notes. |
| (2) | Our estimated value of the Notes on the Initial Valuation Date, based on our internal pricing models, is expected to be between $910.00
and $991.60 per $1,000 principal amount Note. The estimated value is expected to be less than the initial issue price of the Notes. See
“Additional Information Regarding Our Estimated Value of the Notes” on page PS-5 of this pricing supplement. |

consent to u.k.
bail-in power
Notwithstanding
and to the exclusion of any other term of the Notes or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between us and any holder
or beneficial owner of the Notes (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the Notes), by acquiring the Notes, each holder or beneficial
owner of the Notes 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.
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, or interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the Notes; (ii) the
conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the Notes 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 Notes of such shares, securities or obligations); (iii) the cancellation of the Notes and/or (iv) the amendment or alteration
of the maturity of the Notes, or the amendment of the amount of interest or any other amounts due on the Notes, 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 Notes 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 Notes further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the holders
or beneficial owners of the Notes 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 Notes 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.
For more information, please see “Selected Risk Considerations—Risks
Relating to the Issuer—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” in this pricing supplement 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, including
the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of a variety of statutory resolution powers, could materially adversely affect
the value of any 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.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING OUR ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES
The final terms for the Notes will be determined on the date the Notes
are initially priced for sale to the public, which we refer to as the Initial Valuation Date, based on prevailing market conditions on
or prior to the Initial Valuation Date, and will be communicated to investors either orally or in a final pricing supplement.
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 Initial Valuation Date is based on our internal funding
rates. Our estimated value of the Notes 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 Notes on the Initial Valuation Date is expected
to be less than the initial issue price of the Notes. The difference between the initial issue price of the Notes and our estimated value
of the Notes is expected to result from several factors, including any sales commissions expected to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc.
or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected 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 Notes, the estimated
cost that we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Notes, and estimated development and other costs that we may incur in connection
with the Notes.
Our estimated value on the Initial Valuation Date is not a prediction
of the price at which the Notes may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may buy or
sell the Notes 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 Notes in the secondary market but it is not obligated to do so.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Initial
Valuation Date, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the Notes 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 Initial Valuation Date for a temporary period expected to be approximately six months after the Issue Date because,
in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under
the Notes and other costs in connection with the Notes that we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Notes. 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 Notes and/or any agreement we may have with the distributors of the Notes. 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 Notes based on changes in market conditions
and other factors that cannot be predicted.
We urge you to read the “Selected Risk Considerations”
beginning on page PS-10 of this pricing supplement.
You may revoke your offer to purchase the Notes at any time prior
to the Initial Valuation Date. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the
Notes prior to the Initial Valuation Date. In the event of any changes to the terms of the Notes, we will notify you and
you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes in which
case we may reject your offer to purchase.
Selected Purchase Considerations
The Notes are not appropriate for
all investors. The Notes may be an appropriate investment for you if all of the following statements are true:
| · | You do not seek an investment that produces periodic interest or coupon payments or other sources of current income. |
| · | You understand and accept that, if a Knock-Out Event occurs, the Notes will be automatically redeemed and you will receive only the
principal amount of your Notes, regardless of any depreciation of the Underlier, which may be significant. |
| · | You understand and accept that, if the Notes are not automatically redeemed (because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred) and the Final
Underlier Value is greater than or equal to the Initial Underlier Value, you will receive a return equal to the Digital Percentage of
5.60%, regardless of any appreciation of the Underlier, which may be significant. |
| · | You understand and accept that the Absolute Value Return feature applies only if the Notes are not automatically redeemed (because
a Knock-Out Event has not occurred) and the Underlier decreases from the Initial Underlier Value, and that any positive return in the
event that a Knock-Out Event does not occur and the Final Underlier Value is less than the Initial Underlier Value is limited to 15.00%. |
| · | You anticipate that the Closing Value of the Underlier will not fall below the Knock-Out Value on any scheduled trading day during
the Monitoring Period. |
| · | You understand and are willing and able to accept the risks associated with an investment linked to the performance of the Underlier. |
| · | You understand and accept that you will not be entitled to receive dividends or distributions that may be paid to holders of the securities
composing the Underlier, nor will you have any voting rights with respect to the securities composing the Underlier. |
| · | You are willing and able to accept the risk that the Notes may be automatically redeemed and that you may not be able to reinvest
your money in an alternative investment with comparable risk and yield. |
| · | You do not seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market, and you are willing and able to hold the Notes to
maturity if the Notes are not automatically redeemed. |
| · | You are willing and able to assume our credit risk for all payments on the Notes. |
| · | You are willing and able to consent to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by any relevant U.K. resolution authority. |
The Notes may not be an appropriate
investment for you if any of the following statements are true:
| · | You seek an investment that produces periodic interest or coupon payments or other sources of current income. |
| · | You are unwilling or unable to accept that, if a Knock-Out Event occurs, the Notes will be automatically redeemed and you will receive
only the principal amount of your Notes, regardless of any depreciation of the Underlier, which may be significant. |
| · | You are unwilling or unable to accept that, if the Notes are not automatically redeemed (because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred)
and the Final Underlier Value is greater than or equal to the Initial Underlier Value, you will receive a return equal to the Digital
Percentage of 5.60%, regardless of any appreciation of the Underlier, which may be significant. |
| · | You are unwilling or unable to accept that the Absolute Value Return feature applies only if the Notes are not automatically redeemed
(because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred) and the Underlier decreases from the Initial Underlier Value, and that any positive return
in the event that a Knock-Out Event does not occur and the Final Underlier Value is less than the Initial Underlier Value is limited to
15.00%. |
| · | You anticipate that the Closing Value of the Underlier will fall below the Knock-Out Value on at least one scheduled trading day during
the Monitoring Period. |
| · | You do not understand and/or are unwilling or unable to accept the risks associated with an investment linked to the performance of
the Underlier. |
| · | You seek an investment that entitles you to dividends or distributions on, or voting rights related to, the securities composing the
Underlier. |
| · | You are unwilling or unable to accept the risk that the Notes may be automatically redeemed. |
| · | You seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market, and/or you are unwilling or unable to hold the Notes to
maturity if the Notes are not automatically redeemed. |
| · | You prefer the lower risk, and therefore accept the potentially lower returns, of fixed income investments with comparable maturities
and credit ratings. |
| · | You are unwilling or unable to assume our credit risk for all payments on the Notes. |
| · | You are unwilling or unable to consent to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by any relevant U.K. resolution authority. |
You must rely on your own evaluation of the merits of an investment
in the Notes. You should reach a decision whether to invest in the Notes after carefully considering,
with your advisors, the appropriateness of the Notes in light of your investment objectives and the specific information set out in this
pricing supplement, the prospectus, the prospectus supplement and the underlying supplement. Neither the Issuer nor Barclays Capital Inc.
makes any recommendation as to the appropriateness of the Notes for investment.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES OF
AMOUNTS PAYABLE upon an automatic REDEMPTION Following a Knock-Out Event
The following examples demonstrate the hypothetical payment upon an
automatic redemption following the occurrence of a Knock-Out Event. The examples set forth below are purely hypothetical and are provided
for illustrative purposes only. The numbers appearing in the following tables and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis. The
hypothetical examples below do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the Notes and make the following key assumptions:
| § | Hypothetical Initial Underlier Value: 100.00* |
| § | Hypothetical Knock-Out Value: 85.00 (85.00% of the hypothetical Initial Underlier Value set forth above)* |
| * | The hypothetical Initial Underlier Value of 100.00
and the hypothetical Knock-Out Value of 85.00 have been chosen for illustrative purposes
only and may not represent a likely actual Initial Underlier Value or Knock-Out Value. The actual Initial Underlier Value will be equal
to the Closing Value of the Underlier on the Initial Valuation Date, and the actual Knock-Out Value will be equal to 85.00% of the Initial
Underlier Value. |
For information regarding recent values of the Underlier, please see
“Information Regarding the Underlier” in this pricing supplement.
Example 1: A Knock-Out Event occurs and the Notes are automatically
redeemed.
Closing Value of the Underlier on a Scheduled Trading Day during the Monitoring Period |
Are the Notes Automatically Redeemed? |
80.00 |
Yes |
Because the Closing Value of the Underlier on a scheduled trading day
during the Monitoring Period is less than the Knock-Out Value, a Knock-Out Event occurs, and the Notes are automatically redeemed on the
related Redemption Settlement Date. You will receive on the related Redemption Settlement Date a cash payment of $1,000 per $1,000 principal
amount Note, which is equal to your principal amount. Under these circumstances, you will receive only the principal amount of your Notes,
regardless of any depreciation of the Underlier, which may be significant. No further amounts will be payable on the Notes after they
have been automatically redeemed.
Example 2: A Knock-Out Event does not occur and the Notes are not
automatically redeemed.
Lowest Closing Value of the Underlier on any Scheduled Trading Day during the Monitoring Period |
Are the Notes Automatically Redeemed? |
90.00 |
No |
Because the Closing Value of the Underlier is greater than or equal
to the Knock-Out Value on each scheduled trading day during the Monitoring Period, a Knock-Out Event does not occur, and the Notes are
not automatically redeemed.
Any payment on the Notes, including the repayment of principal,
is subject to the credit risk of Barclays Bank PLC.
Hypothetical EXAMPLES OF
AMOUNTS PAYABLE at Maturity
The following table illustrates the
hypothetical payment at maturity under various circumstances. The examples set forth below are purely hypothetical and are provided for
illustrative purposes only. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis. The hypothetical
examples below do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the Notes and make the following key assumptions:
| § | Hypothetical Initial Underlier Value: 100.00* |
| § | Hypothetical Knock-Out Value: 85.00 (85.00% of the hypothetical Initial Underlier Value set forth above)* |
| § | You hold the Notes to maturity, and the Notes are NOT automatically redeemed. |
| * | The hypothetical Initial Underlier Value of 100.00
and the hypothetical Knock-Out Value of 85.00 have been chosen for illustrative purposes
only and may not represent a likely actual Initial Underlier Value or Knock-Out Value. The actual Initial Underlier Value will be equal
to the Closing Value of the Underlier on the Initial Valuation Date, and the actual Knock-Out Value will be equal to 85.00% of the Initial
Underlier Value. |

The following examples illustrate how the payments at maturity set
forth in the table above are calculated:
Example 1: The Notes are not automatically redeemed (because a Knock-Out
Event has not occurred) and the value of the Underlier increases from an Initial Underlier Value of 100.00 to a Final Underlier Value
of 120.00.
Because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred and the Final Underlier
Value is greater than or equal to the Initial Underlier Value, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,056.00 per $1,000 principal
amount Note that you hold, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Digital Percentage)
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 5.60%) = $1,056.00
Example 1 demonstrates that you will not participate in any appreciation
in the value of the Underlier. Even though the Underlier appreciated significantly, the payment at maturity is limited to $1,056.00 per
$1,000 principal amount Note that you hold.
Example 2: The Notes are not automatically redeemed (because a Knock-Out
Event has not occurred) and the value of the Underlier increases from an Initial Underlier Value of 100.00 to a Final Underlier Value
of 105.00.
Because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred and the Final Underlier
Value is greater than or equal to the Initial Underlier Value, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,056.00 per $1,000 principal
amount Note that you hold, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Digital Percentage)
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 5.60%) = $1,056.00
Example 3: The Notes are not automatically redeemed (because a Knock-Out
Event has not occurred) and the value of the Underlier decreases from an Initial Underlier Value of 100.00 to a Final Underlier Value
of 90.00.
Because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred and the Final Underlier
Value is less than the Initial Underlier Value, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,100.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note that
you hold, calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Absolute Value Return)
Because the absolute value of the Underlier Return of -10.00% is +10.00%,
the Absolute Value Return is +10.00% and the payment at maturity is calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × 10.00%) = $1,100.00
Example 3 demonstrates that, if a Knock-Out Event has not occurred
and the Final Underlier Value is less than the Initial Underlier Value, you will receive a positive 1% return on the Notes for each 1%
decrease of the Underlier.
The table and examples above assume that the Notes are not automatically
redeemed (because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred). If a Knock-Out Event occurs, the Notes will be automatically redeemed on the related
Redemption Settlement Date and you will receive a payment of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note and will not receive any positive
return on your investment. See “Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable upon an Automatic Redemption Following a Knock-Out Event”
above.
Any payment on the Notes, including the repayment of principal,
is subject to the credit risk of Barclays Bank PLC.
Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing in
the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Underlier or its components. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in
the Notes are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the Notes generally in the
“Risk Factors” section of the prospectus supplement. You should not purchase the Notes unless you understand and can bear
the risks of investing in the Notes.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
| · | You May Receive No More Than the Principal Amount of Your Notes—If a Knock-Out Event occurs, the Notes will be automatically
redeemed and you will receive only the principal amount of your Notes on the related Redemption Settlement Date. Even if a Knock-Out Event
does not occur, the return on the Notes may be less than the amount that would be paid on a conventional debt security of the Issuer of
comparable maturity. |
| · | Your Potential Return on the Notes If a Knock-Out Event Does Not Occur and the Underlier Appreciates Is Limited to the Digital
Percentage—If the Notes are not automatically redeemed (because a Knock-out Event has not occurred) and the Final Underlier
Value is greater than or equal to the Initial Underlier Value, for each $1,000 principal amount Note, you will receive at maturity $1,000
plus a predetermined percentage of the principal amount. We refer to this percentage as the Digital Percentage, which is equal to 5.60%.
If a Knock-Out Event does not occur and the Final Underlier Value is greater than or equal to the Initial Underlier Value, you will receive
a payment at maturity of $1,056.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note regardless of any appreciation in the value of the Underlier, which
may be significant. Your return on the Notes will be less than the percentage change from the Initial Underlier Value to the Final Underlier
Value if such percentage is greater than the Digital Percentage. |
| · | Your Potential for a Positive Return from Depreciation of the Underlier Is Limited—The Absolute Value Return feature
applies only if the Notes are not automatically redeemed (because a Knock-Out Event has not occurred) and the Final Underlier Value is
less than the Initial Underlier Value. Because a Knock-Out Event will occur if the Closing Value of the Underlier is less than the Knock-Out
Value on any scheduled trading day during the Monitoring Period (including on the Final Valuation Date), the Knock-Out Value is effectively
a cap on your investment. Any potential return on the Notes in the event that a Knock-Out Event does not occur and the Final Underlier
Value is less than the Initial Underlier Value is limited to 15.00%. |
| · | No Interest Payments—As a holder of the Notes, you will not receive interest payments. |
| · | Automatic Redemption and Reinvestment Risk—While the original term of the Notes is as indicated on the cover of this
pricing supplement, the Notes may be automatically redeemed prior to maturity for a term that could be as short as approximately one day.
There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Notes in a comparable investment with
a similar level of risk in the event the Notes are automatically redeemed prior to the Maturity Date. No additional payments will be due
after an automatic redemption. The automatic redemption feature of the Notes may also adversely impact your ability to sell your Notes
and the price at which they may be sold. |
| · | Any Payment on the Notes Will Be Determined Based on the Closing Values of the Underlier on the Dates Specified—Any payment
on the Notes will be determined based on the Closing Values of the Underlier on the dates
specified. You will not benefit from any more favorable value of the Underlier determined at any other time. |
| · | Repayment of the Principal Amount Applies Only at Maturity or upon Any Automatic Redemption —You should be willing to
hold your Notes to maturity or any automatic redemption. If you sell your Notes prior to such time in the secondary market, if any, you
may have to sell your Notes at a price that is less than the principal amount. See “—Risks Relating to the Estimated Value
of the Notes and the Secondary Market—Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes” below. |
| · | Owning the Notes Is Not the Same as Owning the Securities Composing the Underlier—The return on the Notes may not reflect
the return you would realize if you actually owned the securities composing the Underlier. As a holder of the Notes, you will not have
voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of the securities composing the Underlier
would have. |
| · | Tax Treatment—As discussed further below under “Tax Considerations” and in the accompanying prospectus supplement,
if you are a U.S. individual or taxable entity, you should be required to accrue interest on a current basis in respect of the Notes over
their term based on the comparable yield for the Notes and pay tax accordingly, even though you will not receive any payments from us
until early redemption or redemption at maturity. This comparable yield is determined solely to calculate the amount on which you will
be taxed prior to early redemption or redemption at maturity and is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of what the actual yield will
be. |
Risks Relating to the Issuer
| · | Credit of Issuer—The Notes 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 Notes, 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 Notes, and in the
event Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the Notes. |
| · | 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 and to the exclusion of any other term of the Notes or any other agreements, arrangements
or |
understandings between Barclays Bank PLC
and any holder or beneficial owner of the Notes (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the Notes), by acquiring the Notes, each holder
or beneficial owner of the Notes 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 pricing supplement. 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 Notes losing
all or a part of the value of your investment in the Notes or receiving a different security from the Notes, which may be worth significantly
less than the Notes 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 Notes. The exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with
respect to the Notes 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 Notes. See “Consent to U.K. Bail-in
Power” in this pricing supplement 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, including the exercise
by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of a variety of statutory resolution powers, could materially adversely affect the value of
any 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.
Risks Relating to the Underlier
| · | The Underlier Reflects the Price Return of the Securities Composing the Underlier,
Not the Total Return—The return on the Notes is based on the performance of the Underlier, which reflects changes in the market
prices of the securities composing the Underlier. The Underlier is not a “total return” index that, in addition to reflecting
those price returns, would also reflect dividends paid on the securities composing the Underlier. Accordingly, the return on the Notes
will not include such a total return feature. |
| · | Adjustments to the Underlier Could Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes—The sponsor of the Underlier may add, delete,
substitute or adjust the securities composing the Underlier or make other methodological changes to the Underlier that could affect its
performance. The Calculation Agent will calculate the value to be used as the Closing Value of the Underlier in the event of certain material
changes in or modifications to the Underlier. In addition, the sponsor of the Underlier may also discontinue or suspend calculation or
publication of the Underlier at any time. Under these circumstances, the Calculation Agent may select a successor index that the Calculation
Agent determines to be comparable to the Underlier or, if no successor index is available, the Calculation Agent will determine the value
to be used as the Closing Value of the Underlier. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the Underlier and, consequently,
the value of the Notes. See “Reference Assets—Indices—Adjustments Relating to Securities with an Index as a Reference
Asset” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. |
| · | We May Accelerate the Notes If a Change-in-Law Event Occurs—Upon the occurrence of legal or regulatory changes that may,
among other things, prohibit or otherwise materially restrict persons from holding the Notes or the Underlier or its components, or engaging
in transactions in them, the Calculation Agent may determine that a change-in-law event has occurred and accelerate the Maturity Date
for a payment determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. Any amount payable upon acceleration could be significantly
less than any amount that would be due on the Notes if they were not accelerated. However, if the Calculation Agent elects not to accelerate
the Notes, the value of, and any amount payable on, the Notes could be adversely affected, perhaps significantly, by the occurrence of
those legal or regulatory changes. See “Terms of the Notes—Change-in-Law Events” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. |
| · | Historical Performance of the Underlier Should Not Be Taken as Any Indication of the Future Performance of the Underlier Over the
Term of the Notes—The value of the Underlier has fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations.
The historical performance of the Underlier is not an indication of the future performance of the Underlier over the term of the Notes.
Therefore, the performance of the Underlier over the term of the Notes may bear no relation or resemblance to the historical performance
of the Underlier. |
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
| · | We and Our Affiliates May Engage in Various Activities or Make Determinations That Could Materially Affect the Notes in Various
Ways and Create Conflicts of Interest—We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes,
as described below. In performing these roles, our and our affiliates’ economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests
as an investor in the Notes. |
In connection with our normal business
activities and in connection with hedging our obligations under the Notes, 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 Underlier or its components. In any such market making, trading and hedging activity, 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 Notes. We and our affiliates have no obligation to take the needs of any buyer, seller or holder of the
Notes 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 Notes.
In addition, the role played by Barclays
Capital Inc., as the agent for the Notes, could present significant conflicts of interest with the role of Barclays Bank PLC, as issuer
of the Notes. For example, Barclays Capital Inc. or its representatives may derive compensation or financial benefit from the distribution
of the Notes and such compensation or financial benefit may serve as an incentive to sell the Notes instead of other investments. Furthermore,
we and our affiliates establish the offering price of the Notes for initial sale to the public, and the offering price is not based upon
any independent verification or valuation.
In addition to the activities described
above, we will also act as the Calculation Agent for the Notes. As Calculation Agent, we will determine any values of the Underlier
and make any other determinations necessary to calculate any payments on the Notes. In making these determinations, we may be required
to make discretionary judgments, including those described in the accompanying prospectus supplement and under “—Risks Relating
to the Underlier” above. In making these discretionary judgments, our economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests
as an investor in the Notes, and any of these determinations may adversely affect any payments on the Notes.
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value of the Notes and the Secondary
Market
| · | Lack of Liquidity—The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates
of Barclays Bank PLC intend to make a secondary market for the Notes but are not required to do so, and may discontinue any such secondary
market making at any time, without notice. Barclays Capital Inc. may at any time hold unsold inventory, which may inhibit the development
of a secondary market for the Notes. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or
sell the Notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able
to trade your Notes 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 Notes. The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing
to hold your Notes to maturity. |
| · | Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes—The value of the Notes will be affected by a number
of economic and market factors that interact in complex and unpredictable ways and that may either offset or magnify each other, including: |
| o | the values and expected volatility of the Underlier; |
| o | the time to maturity of the Notes; |
| o | dividend rates on the components of the Underlier; |
| o | interest and yield rates in the market generally; |
| o | a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events; |
| o | supply and demand for the Notes; and |
| o | our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings. |
| · | The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Expected to Be Lower Than the Initial Issue Price of Your Notes—The estimated value
of your Notes on the Initial Valuation Date is expected to be lower, and may be significantly lower, than the initial issue price of your
Notes. The difference between the initial issue price of your Notes and the estimated value of the Notes is expected as a result of certain
factors, such as any sales commissions expected to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions,
discounts, commissions or fees expected 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 Notes, the estimated cost which we may incur in hedging our obligations
under the Notes, and estimated development and other costs which we may incur in connection with the Notes. |
| · | The Estimated Value of Your Notes 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 Notes on the Initial Valuation 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 values referenced above might be lower if such estimated values
were based on the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. |
| · | The Estimated Value of the Notes 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 Notes on the Initial Valuation 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 Notes may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions which may be purchasers or sellers of Notes in the secondary
market. As a result, the secondary market price of your Notes may be materially different from the estimated value of the Notes determined
by reference to our internal pricing models. |
| · | The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Not a Prediction of the Prices at Which You May Sell Your Notes in the Secondary Market, If
Any, and Such Secondary Market Prices, If Any, Will Likely Be Lower Than the Initial Issue Price of Your Notes and May Be Lower Than the
Estimated Value of Your Notes—The estimated value of the Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes. Further, as secondary market prices of
your Notes 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 Notes such as fees, commissions, discounts, and the costs of hedging our obligations under the Notes,
secondary market prices of your Notes will likely be lower than the initial issue price of your Notes. As a result, the price at which
Barclays Capital Inc., other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Notes from you in secondary market transactions,
if any, will likely be lower than the price you paid for your Notes, 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 Notes 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
Notes—Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Initial Valuation Date, the price at which Barclays Capital
Inc. may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market (if Barclays Capital Inc. makes a market in the Notes, 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 Notes on the Initial Valuation Date, as well as the secondary market value of the Notes,
for a temporary period after the initial Issue Date of the Notes. The price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the
Notes 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 Notes. |

Tax Considerations
You should review carefully the sections in the accompanying prospectus
supplement entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as
Indebtedness for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes” and, if you are a non-U.S. holder, “—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S.
Holders.” The discussion below applies to you only if you are an initial purchaser of the Notes; if you are a secondary purchaser
of the Notes, the tax consequences to you may be different. In the opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP,
the Notes should be treated as debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The remainder of this discussion assumes that this
treatment is correct.
Because the Notes will be offered to initial purchasers at varying
prices, it is expected that the "issue price" of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be uncertain. We currently
intend to treat the issue price as $1,000 for each $1,000 principal amount Note, and the remainder of this discussion so assumes, unless
otherwise indicated. Our intended treatment will affect the amounts you will be required to include in income for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the uncertainty with respect to the Notes' issue price, including the tax
consequences to you if the actual issue price of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not $1,000 per Note.
Assuming the treatment described above is correct, in the opinion of
our special tax counsel, the Notes should be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, as described under “—Contingent Payment Debt Instruments” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
Regardless of your method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, you generally will be required to accrue taxable interest income in each year on a constant yield to maturity basis at the “comparable
yield,” as determined by us, even though we will not be required to make any payment with respect to the Notes prior to early redemption
or redemption at maturity. Although it is not entirely clear how the comparable yield should be determined when a debt instrument may
be automatically called prior to maturity, we will determine the comparable yield based upon the term to maturity of the Notes assuming
no automatic call occurs. Upon a sale or exchange (including early redemption or redemption at maturity), you generally will recognize
taxable income or loss equal to the difference between the amount received from the sale or exchange and your adjusted tax basis in the
Notes. You generally must treat any income as interest income and any loss as ordinary loss to the extent of previous interest inclusions,
and the balance as capital loss. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
The discussions herein and in the accompanying prospectus supplement
do not address the consequences to taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b).
After the original issue date, you may obtain the comparable yield
and the projected payment schedule by requesting them from Barclays Cross Asset Sales Americas, at (212) 528-7198. Neither the comparable
yield nor the projected payment schedule constitutes a representation by us regarding the actual amount that we will pay on the Notes.
If you purchase Notes at their original issuance for an amount that
is different from their issue price, you will be required to account for this difference by making adjustments to your income when the
payment at maturity (or early redemption) is made. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the treatment of the difference between
your basis in your Notes and their issue price.
You should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal tax
consequences of an investment in the Notes, as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing
jurisdiction.
Non-U.S. holders. We do not believe that
non-U.S. holders should be required to provide a Form W-8 in order to avoid 30% U.S. withholding tax with respect to the excess (if any)
of the payment on early redemption or the payment at maturity over the face amount of the Notes, although the Internal Revenue Service
(the “IRS”) could challenge this position. 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, 2027 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 Notes do not have a “delta of one” within the meaning of the regulations, we expect that
these regulations will not apply to the Notes 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 complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including
whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. If necessary, further information regarding the potential
application of Section 871(m) will be provided in the pricing supplement for the Notes. You should consult your tax advisor regarding
the potential application of Section 871(m) to the Notes.
SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We will agree to sell to Barclays Capital Inc. (the “agent”),
and the agent will agree to purchase from us, the principal amount of the Notes, and at the price, specified on the cover of this pricing
supplement. The agent will commit to take and pay for all of the Notes, if any are taken.
