Assets Pledged, Collateral Received And Assets Transferred [Abstract]  
Assets pledged, collateral received and assets transferred Assets pledged, collateral received and assets transferred
Assets are pledged or transferred as collateral to secure liabilities under repurchase agreements, securitisations and stock
lending agreements or as security deposits relating to derivatives. Assets transferred are non-cash assets transferred to a
third party that do not qualify for derecognition from the Barclays Bank Group’s balance sheet, for example because the
Barclays Bank Group retains substantially all the exposure to those assets under an agreement to repurchase them in the
future for a fixed price.
Where non-cash assets are pledged or transferred as collateral for cash received, the asset continues to be recognised in full,
and a related liability is also recognised on the balance sheet. Where non-cash assets are pledged or transferred as collateral
in an exchange for non-cash assets, the transferred asset continues to be recognised in full, and there is no associated
liability as the non-cash collateral received is not recognised on the balance sheet. The Barclays Bank Group is unable to use,
sell or pledge the transferred assets for the duration of the transaction and remains exposed to interest rate risk and credit
risk on these pledged assets. Unless stated, the counterparty's recourse is not limited to the transferred assets.
Collateralised transactions, such as securities lending and borrowing, repurchase and derivative transactions are conducted
in accordance with standard terms which are customary in the market.

For repurchase agreements the difference between transferred assets and associated liabilities is predominantly due to IFRS
netting. Included within Other are agreements where a counterparty's recourse is limited to the transferred assets. The
relationship between the gross transferred assets and the associated liabilities is that holders of notes may only look to cash
flows from the securitised assets for payments of principal and interest due to them under the terms of their notes.

The Barclays Bank Group has an additional £4,213m (2024: £3,770m) of loans and advances within its asset backed funding
programmes that can readily be used to raise additional secured funding and are available to support future issuances.
Collateral held as security for assets
Under certain transactions, including reverse repurchase agreements and stock borrowing transactions, the Barclays Bank
Group is allowed to resell or re-pledge the collateral held. Collateralised transactions, such as securities lending and
borrowing, repurchase and derivative transactions are conducted in accordance with standard terms which are customary
in the market.
