Fix: Barclays Error Code 00002?

Here are a few ways to fix the 00002 error code on the Barclays application. 

Method 1: Check your network connectivity

A banking application needs a good amount of network to give you a secure and smooth experience. So, if you are unable to get a good enough experience, it might be time to check your network.

You can visit this website, to check the speed of your network. A 5-7 Mbps is required for you to access and stay connected to any kind of internet service.

Whether you are on Wi-Fi or cellular data, when the network is not connected to the internet you will get a notification. The notification will inform you that, “You are not connected to the internet”. At this point, you need to check your network.

Try self-remedies like turning the airplane mode off and then on, or restarting the router. If the problem is not on your side, you need to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).


Method 2: Restart your phone and the application

The phone racks up its Random access memory (RAM) after the usage of the various applications. So, to maintain your device and keep it healthy for a longer time, you need to restart it once every day. Click on the power button until there is a pop-up on your phone and select the restart option.

Also, applications need to be restarted because of some minor bugs that might be causing you issues. Just close the application, open it after a few moments and try using its features then.


Method 3: Update the application

An older version of the app might be non-functional because the bank no longer maintains it. In that case, you need to check and update your application.

  • Visit the application store on your device and search for the Barclays mobile application.
  • Once you find it, check if you have any updates available for it and install them.
  • If you have not found any, just turn on auto-updates for that application. And you will not have a problem like this next time.

Method 4: Update your device’s software

You might be using an old phone and running the Barclays application. But you should check the version of the software your device runs. This is very crucial because older device software does not work well with the new and updated applications.

  • Visit settings on your device and in the search bar for Software updates.
  • If you find one, make sure to install it and check if it helps in running the application.

Note: Android versions that are later than 5.0 and iOS versions from 9.3 are compatible with the Barclays application. So, if your phone does not support these newer versions, it might be time to change your device.


Method 5: Check the server status

The servers are sometimes taken down for maintenance and update purposes. They tend to inform you via their various social media handles if that is the case. Or the application is down due to a lot of sudden traffic (users accessing the application). And you can report it to Barclays.

For example, at the moment I am writing this article its website is under maintenance. You can visit this website, to know its current state and how long it has been down for. On the down detector page, you can select the service you are having an issue with. Or you can type in your own issue in the “Something else…” box.
