Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation
to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity
Partial Principal at
Risk Securities Linked to the Common Stock of Amazon.com, Inc. due July 21, 2028 |
n Linked to the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. (the “Underlying Stock”)
n Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest and provide for a minimum payment at maturity equal to only 90% of
the principal amount. Instead, the securities provide for a maturity payment amount that may be greater than, equal to or less than the
principal amount of the securities, depending on the performance of the Underlying Stock from the starting price to the ending price.
The maturity payment amount will reflect the following terms:
n If
the price of the Underlying Stock increases, you will receive the principal amount plus a positive return equal to 100% of the percentage
increase in the price of the Underlying Stock from the starting price to the ending price, subject to a maximum return at maturity of
at least 34.75% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the principal amount. As a result of the maximum return, the maximum maturity
payment amount will be at least $1,347.50 per security.
n If the price of the Underlying Stock remains flat, you will receive the principal amount, but you will not receive any positive return
on your investment.
n If the price of the Underlying Stock decreases, you will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the first 10% decline in the price of the Underlying
Stock from the starting price to the ending price and you may lose up to 10% of the principal amount of your securities.
n 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 PPS-6 of this pricing supplement) by the relevant U.K. resolution authority, you might not receive
any amounts owed to you under the securities. See “Selected Risk Considerations” and “Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power”
in this pricing supplement and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
n No periodic interest payments or dividends
n No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity |
See “Additional Information about the
Issuer and the Securities” on page PPS-4 of this pricing supplement. The securities will have the terms specified in the prospectus
dated May 15, 2025, the prospectus supplement dated May 15, 2025 and the product supplement no. WF-1 dated May 20, 2025, as supplemented
or superseded by this pricing supplement.
The securities have complex features and
investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Selected Risk
Considerations” on page PPS-9 herein, “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-3 of the product supplement and “Risk
Factors” beginning on page S-9 of the prospectus supplement.
The securities constitute our unsecured and
unsubordinated obligations. The securities are not deposit liabilities of Barclays Bank PLC and are not covered by the U.K. Financial
Services Compensation Scheme or insured by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or deposit
insurance agency of the United States, the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined
that this pricing supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any
other term of the securities or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between Barclays Bank PLC and any holder or beneficial
owner of the securities (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the securities), by acquiring the securities, each holder or 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. See “Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power” on page PPS-6 of this pricing supplement.

and Barclays Capital Inc. will act as agents for the securities. The agent will receive an underwriting discount of up to $30.75 per
security. Barclays Capital Inc. will sell the securities to WFS at the original offering price of the securities less a concession not
in excess of $30.75 per security. WFS may provide dealers, which may include Wells Fargo Advisors (“WFA”) (the trade
name of the retail brokerage business of WFS’s affiliates, Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC and Wells Fargo Advisors Financial
Network, LLC), with a selling concession of $22.50 per security. In addition to the concession allowed to WFA, WFS may pay $0.75 per

the sale of the securities. If WFS, Barclays Capital Inc. or an affiliate of either agent participating as a dealer in the distribution
of the securities conducts hedging activities for Barclays Bank PLC in connection with the securities, such agent or participating dealer
will expect to realize a projected profit from such hedging activities, and this projected profit will be in addition to any discount,
concession or fee received in connection with the sale of the securities to you. This additional projected profit may create a further
incentive for the agents or participating dealers to sell the securities to you. |

the case of certain corporate events related to the Underlying Stock, the calculation agent may adjust the adjustment factor of the Underlying
Stock if the calculation agent determines that the event has a diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of the shares

will make adjustments to reflect the amount and type of property deliverable for one share of the Underlying Stock as a result of that
reorganization event. The Underlying Stock may be replaced with another stock selected by the calculation agent upon the occurrence of
certain replacement stock events. For more information, see “General Terms of the Securities—Certain Terms for Securities
Linked to an Underlying Stock—Adjustment Events” in the accompanying product supplement.

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity
Partial Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Common Stock of Amazon.com, Inc. due July 21, 2028
Additional
Information Regarding Our Estimated Value of the Securities
The final terms for the securities will be determined
on the date the securities are initially priced for sale to the public (the “pricing date”) based on prevailing market
conditions on or prior to the pricing date and will be communicated to investors orally and/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 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 expected to be less than the original offering price of the securities. The difference between the original offering price of
the securities and our estimated value of the securities 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 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 three months 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 the “Selected Risk
Considerations” beginning on page PPS-9 of this pricing supplement.
You may revoke your offer to purchase the securities
at any time prior to the pricing date. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the securities prior
to their pricing date. In the event of any changes to the terms of the securities, 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.
Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity
Partial Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Common Stock of Amazon.com, Inc. due July 21, 2028
Consent
to U.K. Bail-in Power
Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any
other term of the securities or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between us and any holder or beneficial owner of
the securities (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the securities), by acquiring the securities, each holder or 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.
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 securities; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of
the principal amount of, or 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 of such shares,
securities or obligations); (iii) the cancellation of the securities and/or (iv) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the securities,
or the 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.
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”

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity
Partial Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Common Stock of Amazon.com, Inc. due July 21, 2028
Selected
Risk Considerations
An investment in the securities involves significant
risks. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the Underlying Stock. 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” sections of the product supplement and prospectus supplement. You should not purchase the
securities unless you understand and can bear the risks of investing in the securities.
Risks Relating to the Securities
Generally
| · | You May Not Receive Any Positive Return On
Your Investment In The Securities And You May Lose Up To 10% Of The Principal Amount Of Your Securities At Maturity — You will
receive a positive return on the securities only if the ending price is greater than the starting price. Because the price of the Underlying
Stock will be subject to market fluctuations, the ending price may be less than the starting price. If the ending price is less than the
starting price, you will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the first 10% decline in the price of the Underlying Stock from the starting
price to the ending price and may lose up to 10% of the principal amount of your securities at maturity, even if the price of the Underlying
Stock is greater than or equal to the starting price at certain times during the term of the securities. |
Even if the ending
price is greater than the starting price, the amount you receive at maturity may be only slightly greater than the principal amount, and
your yield on the securities may be less than the yield you would earn if you bought a traditional interest-bearing debt security of Barclays
or another issuer with a similar credit rating with the same stated maturity date.
| · | Your Return Will Be Limited To The Maximum
Return And May Be Lower Than The Return On A Direct Investment In The Underlying Stock — The opportunity to participate in the
possible increase in the price of the Underlying Stock through an investment in the securities will be limited because any positive return
on the securities will not exceed the maximum return, regardless of any increase in the price of the Underlying Stock, which may be significant.
Therefore, your return on the securities may be lower than the return on a direct investment in the Underlying Stock. Furthermore, the
effect of the upside participation rate will be progressively reduced for all ending prices exceeding the ending price at which the maximum
return is reached. |
| · | No Periodic Interest Will Be Paid On The Securities
— No periodic payments of interest will be made on the securities. |
| · | Any Payment On The Securities Will Be Determined
Based On The Stock Closing Prices Of The Underlying Stock On The Dates Specified — Any payment on the securities will be determined
based on the stock closing prices of the Underlying Stock on the dates specified. You will not benefit from any more favorable values
of the Underlying Stock determined at any other time. |
| · | Owning The Securities Is Not The Same As Owning
The Underlying Stock — The return on your securities may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the
Underlying Stock. For instance, as a holder of the securities, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or
other distributions or any other rights that holders of the Underlying Stock would have. |
| · | No Assurance That The Investment View Implicit
In The Securities Will Be Successful — It is impossible to predict whether and the extent to which the price of the Underlying
Stock will rise or fall. There can be no assurance that the ending price will be greater than the starting price. The price of the Underlying
Stock will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that affect the Underlying Stock.
You should be willing to accept the downside risks associated with equities in general and the Underlying Stock in particular, and the
risk of losing up to 10% of the principal amount. |
| · | You Will Be Required To Recognize Taxable
Income On The Securities Prior To Maturity — If you are a U.S. holder of a security, under our intended treatment of the securities,
you will be required to recognize taxable interest income in each year that you hold the security, even though you will not receive any
payment in respect of the security prior to maturity (or earlier sale, exchange or retirement). In addition, any gain you recognize will
be treated as ordinary interest income rather than capital gain. You should review the section of this pricing supplement entitled “Tax
Considerations.” |
Risks Relating to the Issuer
| · | The Securities Are Subject To The Credit Risk
Of Barclays Bank PLC — 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 and to the exclusion of any
other term of the securities or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between Barclays Bank PLC and any holder or beneficial
owner of the securities (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the securities), by acquiring the securities, each holder or 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 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 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 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 Underlying
Stock
| · | There Are Risks Associated With Single Equities
— The price of the Underlying Stock can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to the Underlying Stock 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 the Underlying Stock. |
| · | We Cannot Control Actions By The Underlying
Stock Issuer — Actions by the Underlying Stock Issuer may have an adverse effect on the price of the Underlying Stock, the ending
price and the value of the securities. We are not affiliated with the Underlying Stock Issuer. The Underlying Stock Issuer will not be
involved in the offering of the securities nor will the Underlying Stock Issuer have any obligations with respect to the securities, including
any obligation to take our interests or your interests into consideration for any reason. The Underlying Stock Issuer will not receive
any of the proceeds of the offering of the securities nor will be responsible for, or will have participated in, the determination of
the timing of, prices for, or quantities of, the securities to be issued. The Underlying Stock Issuer will not be involved with the administration,
marketing or trading of the securities nor will have any obligations with respect to any amounts payable on the securities. |
| · | We And Our Affiliates Have No Affiliation
With The Underlying Stock Issuer And Have Not Independently Verified Its Public Disclosure Of Information — We, our affiliates
and WFS and its affiliates are not affiliated in any way with the Underlying Stock Issuer. This pricing supplement relates only to the
securities and does not relate to the Underlying Stock. The material provided in this pricing supplement concerning the Underlying Stock
Issuer is derived from publicly available documents without independent verification. Neither we nor either agent has participated in
the preparation of any of those documents or made any “due diligence” investigation or any inquiry of the Underlying Stock
Issuer. Furthermore, neither we nor either agent knows whether the Underlying Stock Issuer has disclosed all events occurring before the
date of this pricing supplement, including events that could affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents referred
to above. Subsequent disclosure of any event of this kind or the disclosure of or failure to disclose material future events concerning
the Underlying Stock Issuer could affect the value of the securities and any payments on the securities. You, as an investor in the securities,
should make your own investigation into the Underlying Stock Issuer. |
| · | You Have Limited Anti-dilution Protection
— The calculation agent will, in its sole discretion, adjust the adjustment factor of the Underlying Stock for certain events affecting
the Underlying Stock, such as stock splits and stock dividends, and certain other corporate actions involving the Underlying Stock Issuer,
such as mergers. However, the calculation agent is not required to make an adjustment for every corporate event that can affect the Underlying
Stock. For example, the calculation agent is not required to make any adjustments to the adjustment factor of the Underlying Stock if
the Underlying Stock Issuer or anyone else makes a partial tender or partial exchange offer for the Underlying Stock. Consequently, this
could affect the value of the securities and any payments on the securities. See “General Terms of the Securities—Certain
Terms for Securities Linked to an Underlying Stock—Adjustment Events” in the accompanying product supplement for a description
of the general circumstances in which the calculation agent will make adjustments to the adjustment factor of the Underlying Stock. |
| · | The Securities May Become Linked To The Common
Stock Of A Company Other Than The Original Underlying Stock Issuer — Following certain corporate events relating to the Underlying
Stock, such as a stock-for-stock merger where the Underlying Stock Issuer is not the surviving entity, the shares of a successor corporation
to the Underlying Stock Issuer will |
Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity
Partial Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Common Stock of Amazon.com, Inc. due July 21, 2028
be substituted for
the Underlying Stock for all purposes of the securities. Following certain other corporate events relating to the Underlying Stock in
which holders of the Underlying Stock would receive all of their consideration in cash and the surviving entity has no marketable securities
outstanding or there is no surviving entity (including, but not limited to, a leveraged buyout or other going private transaction involving
the Underlying Stock Issuer, or a liquidation of the Underlying Stock Issuer), the common stock of another company in the same industry
group as the Underlying Stock Issuer will be substituted for the Underlying Stock for all purposes of the securities. In any such event,
the equity-linked nature of the securities would be significantly altered. See “General Terms of the Securities—Certain Terms
for Securities Linked to an Underlying Stock—Adjustment Events” in the accompanying product supplement for a description of
the specific events that can lead to these adjustments and the procedures for selecting a replacement stock. The occurrence of such events
and the consequent adjustments may materially and adversely affect the value of the securities and any payments on the securities.
| · | The Historical Performance Of The Underlying
Stock Is Not An Indication Of Its Future Performance — The historical performance of the Underlying Stock should not be taken
as an indication of the future performance of the Underlying Stock. It is impossible to predict whether the stock closing price of the
Underlying Stock will fall or rise during the term of the securities, in particular in the environment in the last several years, which
has been characterized by volatility across a wide range of asset classes. Past fluctuations and trends in the price of the Underlying
Stock are not necessarily indicative of fluctuations or trends that may occur in the future. |
Risks Relating to Conflicts
of Interest
| · | Potentially Inconsistent Research, Opinions
Or Recommendations By Barclays Capital Inc., WFS Or Their Respective Affiliates — Barclays Capital Inc., WFS or their respective
affiliates may publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that may influence the value of the securities
or express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the securities. Any research, opinions
or recommendations expressed by Barclays Capital Inc., WFA or their respective affiliates may not be consistent with each other and may
be modified from time to time without notice. You should make your own independent investigation of the Underlying Stock and the merits
of investing in the securities. |
| · | We, Our Affiliates And Any Other Agent And/Or
Participating Dealer May Engage In Various Activities Or Make Determinations That Could Materially Affect Your Securities In Various Ways
And Create Conflicts Of Interest — We, our affiliates, WFS and any dealer participating in the distribution of the securities
(a “participating dealer”) may play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, as described
below. In performing these roles, our economic interests and the economic interests of our affiliates, WFS and any participating dealer
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 Underlying Stock. 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. Participating dealers may
also engage in such activities that 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 and/or any fee 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, Barclays Bank PLC will also act as the calculation agent for the securities. As calculation agent, we will
determine any prices of the Underlying Stock 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 those described in the accompanying product
supplement and under “—Risks Relating to the Underlying Stock” above. 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. Absent manifest error, all
Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity
Partial Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Common Stock of Amazon.com, Inc. due July 21, 2028
determinations of
the calculation agent will be final and binding, without any liability on the part of the calculation agent. You will not be entitled
to any compensation from Barclays Bank PLC for any loss suffered as a result of any determinations made by the calculation agent with
respect to the securities.
Risks Relating to the Estimated
Value of the Securities and the Secondary Market
| · | The Securities Will Not Be Listed On Any Securities
Exchange And We Do Not Expect A Trading Market For The Securities To Develop — The securities 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 securities but are
not required to do so, and may discontinue any such secondary market making at any time, without notice. Even if there is a secondary
market, 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 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. 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 Value Of The Securities Prior To Maturity
Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways — Structured notes, including the securities,
can be thought of as securities that combine a debt instrument with one or more options or other derivative instruments. As a result,
the factors that influence the values of debt instruments and options or other derivative instruments will also influence the terms and
features of the securities at issuance and their value in the secondary market. Accordingly, in addition to the price of the Underlying
Stock on any day, the value of the securities will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify
each other, including: |
| · | the expected volatility of the Underlying Stock; |
| · | the time to maturity of the securities; |
| · | the market prices of, and dividend rates on,
the Underlying Stock; |
| · | interest and yield rates in the market generally; |
| · | supply and demand for the securities; |
| · | a variety of economic, financial, political,
regulatory and judicial events; and |
| · | our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated
downgrades in our credit ratings. |
| · | The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is
Expected To Be Lower Than The Original Offering Price Of Your Securities — The estimated value of your securities on the pricing
date is expected to be lower, and may be significantly lower, than the original offering price of your securities. The difference between
the original offering price of your securities and the estimated value of the securities is expected as a result of certain factors, such
as any sales commissions, selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected to be allowed or paid to Barclays Capital Inc.,
another affiliate of ours, WFS or its affiliates or other 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 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 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. |
Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity
Partial Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Common Stock of Amazon.com, Inc. due July 21, 2028
| · | 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 Original Offering 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 original offering 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 stated 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. |

Hypothetical
Examples and Returns
The payout profile, return table and examples
below illustrate the maturity payment amount for a $1,000 principal amount security on a hypothetical offering of securities under various
scenarios, with the assumptions set forth in the table below. Terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent
the actual starting price or ending price applicable to the securities. The actual maturity payment amount and resulting pre-tax total
rate of return will depend on the actual terms of the securities. You should not take these examples as an indication or assurance of
the expected performance of the securities. These examples are for purposes of illustration only. The values used in the examples may
have been rounded for ease of analysis. The examples below do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the securities.
Upside Participation Rate: |
100% |
Hypothetical Maximum Return: |
34.75% of the principal amount or $347.50 per security (the lowest possible maximum return that may be determined on the pricing date) |
Hypothetical Starting Price: |
$100.00 |
Minimum Payment at Maturity: |
$900.00 per security (90% of the principal amount) |
The hypothetical starting price of $100.00 has
been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual starting price. The actual starting price will be the stock
closing price of the Underlying Stock on the pricing date and the actual ending price will be the stock closing price of the Underlying
Stock on the calculation day. For historical closing prices of the Underlying Stock, see the historical information set forth under the
section titled “The Common Stock of Amazon.com, Inc.” below. We cannot predict the stock closing price of the Underlying Stock
on any day during the term of the securities, including on the calculation day.

Hypothetical Examples
Example 1. Maturity payment amount is greater
than the principal amount and reflects a return that is less than the maximum return:
Hypothetical starting price: $100.00
Hypothetical ending price: $110.00
Hypothetical stock return: 10.00%
Because the hypothetical ending price is greater
than the hypothetical starting price, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the principal amount of $1,000 plus
a positive return equal to the lesser of:
(i) $1,000 × stock return × upside
participation rate
= $1,000 × 10.00% × 100%
= $100.00; and
(ii) the maximum return of $347.50
On the stated maturity date, you would receive
$1,100.00 per security.
Example 2. Maturity payment amount is greater
than the principal amount and reflects a return equal to the maximum return:
Hypothetical starting price: $100.00
Hypothetical ending price: $140.00
Hypothetical stock return: 40.00%
Because the hypothetical ending price is greater
than the hypothetical starting price, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the principal amount of $1,000 plus
a positive return equal to the lesser of:
Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity
Partial Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Common Stock of Amazon.com, Inc. due July 21, 2028
(i) $1,000 × stock return × upside
participation rate
= $1,000 × 40.00% × 100%
= $400.00; and
(ii) the maximum return of $347.50
On the stated maturity date, you would receive
$1,347.50 per security, which is the maximum maturity payment amount.
Example 3. Maturity payment amount is less
than the principal amount and is greater than the minimum payment at maturity:
Hypothetical starting price: $100.00
Hypothetical ending price: $97.50
Hypothetical stock return: -2.50%
Because the hypothetical ending price is less
than or equal to the hypothetical starting price, the maturity payment amount per security would equal the greater of:
(i) $1,000 + ($1,000 × stock return)
= $1,000 + ($1,000 × -2.50%)
= $975.00; and
(ii) the minimum payment at maturity of $900.00
On the stated maturity date, you would receive
$975.00 per security.
Example 4. Maturity payment amount is less
than the principal amount and is equal to the minimum payment at maturity:
Hypothetical starting price: $100.00
Hypothetical ending price: $50.00
Hypothetical stock return: -50.00%
Because the hypothetical ending price is less
than or equal to the hypothetical starting price, the maturity payment amount per security would equal the greater of:
(i) $1,000 + ($1,000 × stock return)
= $1,000 + ($1,000 × -50.00%)
= $500.00; and
(ii) the minimum payment at maturity of $900.00
On the stated maturity date, you would receive
$900.00 per security.
This example illustrates that the securities provide
for the repayment of 90% of the principal amount at maturity even in scenarios in which the price of the Underlying Stock declines significantly
from the starting price (subject to issuer credit risk).

Tax
Considerations
There is uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal
income tax consequences of an investment in the securities due to the lack of governing authority. 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 securities; if
you are a secondary purchaser of the securities, the tax consequences to you may be different. Notwithstanding that the securities do
not provide for the full repayment of their principal amount at or prior to maturity, we intend to treat the securities as debt instruments
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP has advised that it believes this treatment
to be reasonable. The remainder of this discussion assumes that this treatment is correct.
Based on current market conditions, we intend
to treat the securities as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described under
“—Contingent Payment Debt Instruments” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. The remainder of this discussion assumes
that this treatment is correct.
Assuming that our treatment of the securities
as contingent payment debt instruments is correct, 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 securities prior to maturity. Upon a
sale or exchange (including 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 securities. 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. Special rules may apply if the amount payable at maturity is treated as becoming fixed prior
to maturity. You should consult your tax advisor concerning the application of these rules.
Because our intended treatment of the securities
as CPDIs is based on current market conditions, we may determine an alternative treatment is more appropriate based on circumstances at
the time of pricing. Our ultimate determination will be binding on you, unless you properly disclose to the Internal Revenue Service (the
“IRS”) an alternative treatment. Also, the IRS may challenge the treatment of the securities as CPDIs. If we determine not
to treat the securities as CPDIs, or if the IRS successfully challenges the treatment of the securities as CPDIs, then the securities
should be treated as debt instruments that are not CPDIs and, unless treated as issued with less than a specified de minimis amount of
original issue discount, could (depending on the facts at the time of pricing) require the accrual of original issue discount as ordinary
interest income based on a yield to maturity different from (and possibly higher than) the comparable yield. Accordingly, under this treatment,
your annual taxable income from (and adjusted tax basis in) the securities could be higher or lower than if the securities were treated
as CPDIs, and any loss recognized upon a disposition of the securities (including upon maturity) might be capital loss, the deductibility
of which is subject to limitations. Accordingly, this alternative treatment could result in adverse tax consequences to you. 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).
You should consult your tax advisor regarding
the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities, 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 at maturity over the face amount of the securities, although 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 representation that the securities do not have a “delta of one” within the meaning of the regulations,
our special tax counsel believes that these regulations should not apply to the securities with regard to non-U.S. holders, and we have
determined to treat the securities as not being subject to Section 871(m). 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 securities. You should consult your tax advisor regarding
the potential application of Section 871(m) to the securities.
Non-U.S. holders should also discuss with their
tax advisors the estate tax consequences of investing in the securities.
The discussions in the preceding paragraphs, when
read in combination with the sections entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Securities
Treated as Indebtedness for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes” and, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder as defined in the accompanying prospectus
supplement, “—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders,” in the
Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity

the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing
of the securities.

Comparable
Yield and Projected Payment Schedule
We will provide the “comparable yield”
and “projected payment schedule” for the securities in the final pricing supplement. The projected payment schedule for a
security will consist of a single projected amount due at maturity.
In the final pricing supplement, the following
table will state the amount of taxable interest income (without taking into account any adjustment to reflect the difference, if any,
between the actual and the projected amount of the contingent payment on a security) that will be deemed to have accrued with respect
to a security for each accrual period based upon the comparable yield and projected payment schedule.

Neither the comparable yield nor the projected
payment schedule constitutes a representation by us regarding the actual cash settlement amount that we will pay on the securities.
