We, Barclays Bank PLC (the "Issuer"), are issuing $2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.650% Fixed Rate Senior Notes due 2021 (the
"fixed rate notes") and $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2021 (the "floating rate notes" and together
with the fixed rate notes, the "notes").
From (and including) the date of issuance, interest will accrue on the fixed rate notes at a rate of 2.650% per annum and on the floating rate notes
at a floating rate equal to the three-month U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), reset quarterly, plus 0.46% per annum. For the
fixed rate notes, interest will be payable semi-annually in arrear on January 11 and July 11 in each year, commencing on July 11, 2018 and for the
floating rate notes, interest will be payable quarterly in arrear on January 11, April 11, July 11 and October 11 in each year, commencing on April
11, 2018.
The notes will constitute our direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations ranking pari passu without any preference among
themselves. In the event of our winding-up or administration, the notes will rank pari passu with all our other outstanding unsecured and
unsubordinated obligations, present and future, except such obligations as are preferred by operation of law.
We may, at our option, redeem each series of fixed rate notes and/or floating rate notes then outstanding, in whole but not in part, on December 11,
2020 (one month prior to the Maturity Date (as defined below)), in each case at an amount equal to 100% of their principal amount together with
accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed to (but excluding) such redemption date, on the terms
described in this prospectus supplement under "Description of Senior Notes--Optional Redemption ." We may also, at our option, at any time,
redeem the notes, in whole but not in part, at an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed together with accrued
but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed to (but excluding) the redemption date, upon the occurrence of
certain events related to taxation on the terms described in this prospectus supplement under "Description of Senior Notes--Tax Redemption. " Any
redemption or repurchase of the notes is subject to the provisions described in this prospectus supplement under "Description of Senior Notes--
Notice of Redemption."

responsibilities of manufacturers under the Product Governance Rules, the target market assessment in respect of the notes has led to the
conclusion that: (i) the target market for the notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and
(ii) all channels for distribution of the notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the notes (a "Distributor") should take into consideration the Manufacturer's target market

person (and the issue to, or conferral on, the holder or beneficial owner of the notes of such shares, securities or obligations); and/or
(iii) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the notes, or amendment of the amount of interest due on the notes, or the dates on

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement and certain documents incorporated by reference herein contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), with respect to the Group and Barclays Bank (as defined below). We caution readers that no forward-
looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results or other financial condition or performance measures could differ
materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not
relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as "may," "will," "seek," "continue," "aim,"
"anticipate," "target," "projected," "expect," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "goal," "believe," "achieve" or other words of similar meaning.
Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements or guidance regarding or relating to the Group's and Barclays Bank's
future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, provisions, notable items, business strategy, structural reform, capital,
leverage and other regulatory ratios, payment of dividends (including dividend pay-out ratios and expected payment strategies), projected levels of
growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs or savings, any commitments and targets and the impact of any regulatory
deconsolidation result from the sell down of the Group's interest in Barclays Africa Group Limited, estimates of capital expenditures and plans and
objectives for future operations, projected employee numbers and other statements that are not historical fact. By their nature, forward-looking
statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. These may be affected by changes in legislation, the
development of standards and interpretations under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), evolving practices with regard to the
interpretation and application of accounting and regulatory standards, the outcome of current and future legal proceedings and regulatory
investigations, future levels of conduct provisions, future levels of notable items, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory
authorities, geopolitical risks and the impact of competition. In addition, factors including (but not limited to) the following may have an effect:
capital, leverage and other regulatory rules (including with regard to the future structure of the Group) applicable to past, current and future
periods; United Kingdom ("U.K."), United States, Africa, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions; the effects of continued
volatility in credit markets; market-related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates; effects of changes in valuation of
credit market exposures; changes in valuation of issued securities; volatility in capital markets; changes in credit ratings of any entities within the
Group, including Barclays Bank, or any securities issued by such entities; the potential for one or more countries exiting the Eurozone; the
implications of the exercise by the U.K. of Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon and the disruption that may result in the U.K. and globally from the
withdrawal of the U.K. from the European Union; and the success of future acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of
these influences and factors are beyond the Group's and Barclays Bank's control. As a result, the Group's and Barclays Bank's actual future
results, dividend payments and capital and leverage ratios may differ materially from the plans, goals, expectations and guidance set forth in the
Group's and Barclays Bank's forward-looking statements. The list above is not exhaustive and there are other factors that may cause our actual
results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by
reference herein. You are also advised to read carefully the risk factors set out in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in this prospectus supplement
and in our filings with the SEC including in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the U.S.
Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 23, 2017 (the "2016 Form 20-F"), which are available on the SEC's website at
http://www.sec.gov for a discussion of certain factors that should be considered when deciding what action to take in relation to the notes.
Any forward-looking statements made herein or in the documents incorporated by reference herein speak only as of the date they are made and it
should not be assumed that they have been revised or updated in the light of new information or future events. Except as required by the PRA (as
defined below), the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), the London Stock Exchange plc (the "LSE") or applicable law, Barclays Bank
expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained in this
prospectus supplement or in the documents incorporated by reference herein to reflect any change in Barclays Bank's expectations with regard
thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. The reader should, however, consult any
additional disclosures that Barclays Bank has made or may make in documents it has published or may publish via the Regulatory News Service of
the LSE and/or has filed or may file with the SEC.

Issuer.
Calculation of U.S. Dollar LIBOR
LIBOR will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the
following provisions:

(1) With respect to any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be the rate
(expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars having a
maturity of three months commencing on the related Interest Reset Date that
appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that
Interest Determination Date. If no such rate appears, then LIBOR, in respect
of that Interest Determination Date, will be determined in accordance with
the provisions described in (2) below.

(2) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which no rate appears on
Reuters Page LIBOR01, the Calculation Agent will request the principal
London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London
interbank market (which may include affiliates of the underwriters), as
selected and identified by the Issuer, to provide its offered quotation
(expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars for the
period of three months, commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, to
prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m.,
London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount

The following terms apply to both the fixed rate notes and the floating rate notes:
Payment of Principal
If the Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment is not a Business Day, the
payment of interest and principal and/or any amount payable upon redemption or
repayment of the notes will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, but
interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after such
Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment. If the notes are redeemed,
unless we default on payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to

accrue on the redemption date on the notes called for redemption.
Ranking
The notes will constitute our direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated
obligations ranking pari passu without any preference among themselves. In the
event of our winding-up or administration, the notes will rank pari passu with all
our other outstanding unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, present and

future, except such obligations as are preferred by operation of law.
Optional Redemption
Subject to the provisions described under "--Notice of Redemption" below, we
may redeem, at our option, in whole but not in part, the fixed rate notes then
outstanding on December 11, 2020 (one month prior to the Fixed Rate Maturity
Date) and/or the floating rate notes then outstanding on December 11, 2020 (one
month prior to the Floating Rate Maturity Date), in each case at an amount equal
to 100% of their principal amount together with accrued but unpaid interest, if
any, on the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed to (but excluding) such
redemption date.

Unless we default on payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to

accrue on the redemption date on the notes called for redemption.
Tax Redemption
We may also, at our option, at any time, redeem the notes, in whole but not in
part, if (A) we are required to issue definitive certificated notes in the events
described under the section entitled "Global Securities--Special Situations When
a Global Security Will Be Terminated" in the accompanying prospectus and, as a
result, we are or would be required to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below)
with respect to the notes; or (B) we determine that as a result of a change in, or

amendment to, the laws or regulations of a Taxing Jurisdiction (as defined below),
including any treaty to which the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction is a party, or a
change in an official application of those laws or regulations on or after the Issue
Date, including a decision of any court or tribunal, which becomes effective on or
after the Issue Date (and, in the case of a successor entity, which becomes
effective on or after the date of such entity's assumption of our obligations),

(i) we will or would be required to pay holders Additional Amounts;

(ii) we would not be entitled to claim a deduction in respect of any payments in
respect of the notes in computing our taxation liabilities or the value of the
deduction would be materially reduced; or

(iii) we would not, as a result of the notes being in issue, be able to have losses or
deductions set against the profits or gains, or profits or gains offset by the
losses or deductions, of companies with which we are or would otherwise
be so grouped for applicable United Kingdom tax purposes (whether under
the group relief system current as at the Issue Date or any similar system or
systems having like effect as may from time to time exist),

(each such change in tax law or regulation or the official application thereof, a
"Tax Event"),

in each of cases (A) and (B) above, at an amount equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the notes being redeemed together with accrued but unpaid interest, if
any, on the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed to (but excluding) the
date fixed for redemption, provided that in the case of each Tax Event, the
consequences of the Tax Event cannot be avoided by us taking reasonable
measures available to us.

In each of cases (A) and (B) above, before we give a notice of redemption
pursuant to the provisions described herein under "--Tax Redemption," we shall
be required to deliver to the Trustee a written legal opinion of independent
counsel of recognized standing, chosen by us, confirming that we are entitled to
exercise our right of redemption pursuant to the provisions described herein under
"--Tax Redemption."

Any redemption of notes pursuant to the provisions described herein under
"--Tax Redemption" will also be subject to the provisions described under

"--Notice of Redemption" below.
Notice of Redemption
Any redemption of the notes shall be subject to our giving not less than thirty
(30) days', nor more than sixty (60) days', prior notice to the holders of such
notes via DTC or the relevant clearing system(s) (or, if the notes are held in
definitive form, to the holders at their addresses shown on the register for the
notes) (such notice being irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described
in the following paragraph) specifying our election to redeem the notes and the
date fixed for such redemption. Notice by DTC to participating institutions and by
these participants to street name holders of beneficial interests in the relevant
notes will be made according to arrangements among them and may be subject to

statutory or regulatory requirements.

If we have elected to redeem the notes but prior to the payment of the redemption
amount with respect to such redemption the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority
(as defined below) exercises its U.K. Bail-in Power (as defined below) in respect
of the notes, the relevant redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and
shall be of no force and effect, and no payment of the redemption amount will be

due and payable.
Subsequent Repurchases
We or any member of the Group may purchase or otherwise acquire any

outstanding notes at any price in the open market or otherwise.
Agreement with Respect to the Exercise of U.K.
Notwithstanding any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between
Bail-in Power
us and any holder of the notes, by acquiring the notes, each holder 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 that may
result in (i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion of, the principal
amount of, or interest on, the notes; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the
principal amount of, or interest on, the notes into shares or other securities or
other obligations of the Issuer or another person (and the issue to, or conferral on,
the holder of the notes of such shares, securities or obligations); and/or (iii) the
amendment or alteration of the maturity of the notes, or amendment of the amount
of interest due on the notes, or the dates on which interest becomes 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 of the notes further acknowledges and agrees that the
rights of holders 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 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 these purposes, a "U.K. Bail-in Power" is any write-down, conversion,
transfer, modification and/or suspension power existing from time to time under
any laws, regulations, rules or requirements relating to the resolution of banks,
banking group companies, credit institutions and/or investment firms incorporated
in the United Kingdom in effect and applicable in the United Kingdom to the
Issuer or other members of the Group, including but not limited to any such laws,
regulations, rules or requirements that are implemented, adopted or enacted within
the context of any applicable European Union directive or regulation of the
European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the recovery
and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms, and/or within the

context of a U.K. resolution regime under the
