Sharestore FAQs

  • What is Barclays Sharestore?

    Barclays Sharestore allows you to hold your Barclays shares without a share certificate. The benefits of holding shares in Sharestore include:

    • No share certificates to worry about. Sharestore is electronic so there is no risk of losing your share certificate and having to pay for a replacement
    • Sharestore Annual Statement of Entitlement. You will receive an annual statement in October, which will detail the number of shares you own and any changes throughout the course of the year
    • Faster settlement. When you sell any of your Barclays shares held in Sharestore, you get your money faster than you would if you held a share certificate. It takes just three business days
    • Competitive cost of dealing. You can sell your Barclays shares through Barclays Stockbrokers (ShareDeal) without the extra costs you would pay if you held share certificates
    • Less unwanted mail. Your name will not appear on the Barclays share register, as your shares will be held by a nominee. This means that other organisations cannot obtain your name and address details to send you advertising material
    • Dividends and shareholder information. You will receive your dividends at the same time as all other shareholders. Barclays Annual Review and Annual Report will be made available online, or you can request a paper copy from the Registrar to Barclays.
