Part VII Transfer

 

As part of our Brexit plans, Barclays received approval from the High Court on 29th January 2019 to transfer certain Banking and Markets, Corporate and PBOS business to Barclays Bank Ireland (BBI) under Part VII of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. 

This is a critical part of our preparations for Brexit, which enables us to duplicate or transfer contracts currently in place with Barclays Bank PLC (BBPLC) and Barclays Capital Securities Limited (BCSL) to BBI rather than requiring new documentation to be signed.

A copy of the Court Order (which effects the duplication/transfer of in scope agreements) can be downloaded in the Court Documents section of this website.

Barclays may also contact you directly with details of the specific contracts that you have and the transfer mechanisms applicable to you. If you have any questions about the date of transfer or duplication, you should reach out to your usual Barclays contact.

Summary of Contractual Amends

In order to facilitate and give effect to the transfer of your business relationship(s) to BBI, we may need to make certain consequential amendments to the contracts and terms you have with Barclays (whether transferring and/or duplicating contracts through the Part VII or through one of the other mechanisms). Such amendments will be limited to those changes which support the migration to BBI (e.g., to address the new jurisdiction and/or regulatory regime), and many such amendments will be administrative, e.g., changes to the Barclays entity name, contact details, address, custody/securities account details, bank account details, process agent details, applicable regulator(s), and jurisdiction of incorporation.

Certain amendments will be generic and apply to all transferring agreements, while other changes may be specific to the particular agreement type. While many of these amendments are being made to bring the resulting transferred/replicated agreement in line with the templates for new BBI documentation, note that they may not always result in exactly the same agreement.

The amendments we have identified in our review of transferring contracts have been summarised in the documents below:

If you have any questions or concerns in relation to your existing positions, we encourage you to contact the Brexit support team, your relationship manager, or your Private Banker.
