Open Banking

I also have been unable to get an owner inside Barclaycard on this error. After hours of being passed around an agent started the complaints process for me, as their internal knowledge base is bare.

Today I have been able to link my Avios plus MasterCard to open banking , which is nice 🙂 Happily married up the thing I need via ‘trulayer’ now

At first I was unable to link the Barclaycard to Nectar Connect via Open Banking. I clicked on the image for Barclays (bank) and then I couldn’t see my Avios card in the list of available cards. Having started the process from the top, I noticed there is another image for Barclaycard. After I clicked on that and logged in, I was able to see my card and managed to add it without any problems.

Not sure if this helps?

The Barclays link worked from day one and did not present the Barclaycard account. It only presented the current account.

I saw Barclaycard as an option. It would open up the Barclaycard login panel (web page based) , I could log in but at the point of passing security a red box would appear with the helpful “something went wrong”. I was able to show this error on demand by using the Barclaycard web page , going to user details , scrolling down to third parties where the same “something went wrong” on Friday this error message on the website had gone. Yesterday ,much to my delight, trulayer was able to connect.

So it didn’t work at the start. I tried all avenues

I can’t get it to add to my monzo account. Just keeps saying no account found. Any ideas?

I managed to fix open banking for Monzo connecting to Barclaycard (the “no eligible accounts” error). The trick is to DELETE the Barclaycard app. Monzo then redirects to the Barclaycard website which successfully supports setting up open banking.

Presumably I’ll have to do this every 90 days when the OB authorisation expires.

Not sure if I’ll keep this card that long with all these headaches!

No joy for me today with Truelayer – same issue as @BugAlugs. But I’ll give it a few days and try again, perhaps it needs some transactions to post or something before it’ll work

As an aside, are you using Truelayer for personal use to aggregate transactions? Wondering now if I could knock up something to consolidate my various monthly credit cards. It’ll probably take me longer to write than it takes to marge 3 CSV files every month but it’ll be more fun.

Could you not just download a single combined CSV from Money Dashboard or whatever aggregator app you use? (If that is what you need)

I don’t use an aggregator at all. None of them I have tried works across all my accounts (often it is Amex that fails) or I am too cheap to pay. Turns out Truelayer falls into the “doesn’t support Amex” camp

Thank you, I had the same issue with Snoop and wasted many hours and calls to no avail. Removing the Barclaycard app did the trick – much appreciated.

For anyone who doesn’t want to delete their app, but still wants to be able to sign up for Open Banking, and is on Android:

Go to Settings > Apps and notifications > Barclaycard > Open by default > Open supported links

Select “Don’t allow app to open links”

This will allow you to go through the browser and have Open Banking consent actually work. You can go back and reset the option to “Allow app to open supported links” after you’re done.

Note of caution: I’m using a OnePlus phone, so these might differ on other Android phones – I haven’t checked.
