BARCLAYS BANK PLC

(Incorporated with limited liability in England and Wales)

GBP 500,000 Fixed and Floating Rate Securities due February 2024 pursuant to the Global Structured Securities Programme (the Tranche 2 Securities) to be consolidated and form a single series with the existing GBP 14,000,000 Fixed and Floating Rate Securities due February 2024 pursuant to the Global Structured Securities Programme (the Tranche 1 Securities) Issue Price: 100.00 per cent.

This document constitutes the final terms of the Securities (the "Final Terms") described herein for the purposes of Article 5.4 of the Prospectus Directive and is prepared in connection with the Global Structured Securities Programme established by Barclays Bank PLC (the "Issuer"). These Final Terms are supplemental to and should be read in conjunction with the GSSP Base Prospectus 1 dated 28 August 2018, as supplemented on 12 November 2018, 19 November 2018 and 11 April 2019 (the "Base Prospectus"), which constitutes a base prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive. Full information on the Issuer and the offer of the Securities is only available on the basis of the combination of these Final Terms and the Base Prospectus. A summary of the individual issue of the Securities is annexed to these Final Terms.

The Base Prospectus, and any supplements thereto, are available for viewing at https://www.home.barclays/prospectuses-and-documentation/structured-securities/prospectuses.html and during normal business hours at the registered office of the Issuer and the specified office of the Issue and Paying Agent for the time being in London, and copies may be obtained from such office. Words and expressions defined in the Base Prospectus and not defined in the Final Terms shall bear the same meanings when used herein.

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS: The Securities are not intended, to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA Retail Investor"). For these purposes, an EEA Retail Investor means a person in the European Economic Area who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended from time too time "MiFID"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of the Insurance Mediation Directive (Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended from time to time)) ("IMD"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended from time to time, including by Directive 2010/73/EU, the "Prospectus Directive"). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to EEA Retail Investors has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to any EEA Retail Investor may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

SUMMARY

Section A – Introduction and warnings
A.1 Introduction
and warnings
This Summary should be read as an introduction to the Base Prospectus. Any
decision to invest in Securities should be based on consideration of the Base
Prospectus as a whole, including any information incorporated by reference, and
read together with the Final Terms.
Where a claim relating to the information contained in the Base Prospectus is
brought before a court, the plaintiff might, under the national legislation of the
relevant Member State of the European Economic Area, have to bear the costs
of translating the Base Prospectus before the legal proceedings are initiated.
No civil liability shall attach to any responsible person solely on the basis of this
Summary, including any translation thereof, unless it is misleading, inaccurate
or inconsistent when read together with the other parts of the Base Prospectus or
it does not provide, when read together with the other parts of the Base
Prospectus, key information in order to aid investors when considering whether
to invest in the Securities.
A.2 Consent by the
Issuer to the use
of prospectus in
subsequent
resale or final
placement of
Securities
Not Applicable: the Issuer does not consent to the use of the Base Prospectus
for subsequent resales.
Section B  Issuer
B.1 Legal and
commercial
name of the
Issuer
The Securities are issued by Barclays Bank PLC (the "Issuer").
B.2 Domicile and The Issuer is a public limited company registered in England and Wales.
legal form of
the Issuer,
legislation
under which
the Issuer
operates and
country of
incorporation
of the Issuer
The principal laws and legislation under which the Issuer operates are the laws
of England and Wales including the Companies Act.
B.4b Known trends
affecting the
Issuer and
industries in
which the
Issuer operates
The business and earnings of the Issuer and its subsidiary undertakings
(together, the "Bank Group" or "Barclays") can be affected by the fiscal or
other policies and other actions of various governmental and regulatory
authorities in the UK, EU, US and elsewhere, which are all subject to change, as
a result, regulatory risk will remain a focus. A more intensive regulatory
approach and enhanced requirements together with the uncertainty (particularly
in light of the UK's withdrawal from the EU) and potential lack of international
regulatory coordination as enhanced supervisory standards are developed and
implemented may adversely affect the Bank Group's business, capital and risk
management strategies and/or may result in the Bank Group deciding to modify
its legal entity, capital and funding structures and business mix, or to exit
certain business activities altogether or not to expand in areas despite otherwise
attractive potential.
Following the transfer of the assets and liabilities of the Barclays UK division
from the Bank Group to Barclays Bank UK PLC and its subsidiary undertakings
(together, the "Barclays Bank UK Group"), the Bank Group becomes less
diversified than it used to be. The Bank Group no longer has recourse to the
assets of the Barclays Bank UK Group. Further, relative to its parent group, the
Bank Group is more focused on businesses outside the UK, more focused on
wholesale businesses, more dependent on wholesale funding sources and
potentially subject to different regulatory obligations.
There are several other significant pieces of legislation and areas of focus which
will require significant management attention, cost and resource, including:
Changes in prudential requirements, including the risk reduction measures

package recently adopted in the EU to amend the Capital Requirements
Directive (CRD IV) and the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive
(BRRD) which may impact minimum requirements for own funds and
eligible liabilities (MREL), leverage, liquidity or funding requirements,
applicable buffers and/or add-ons to such minimum requirements and risk
weighted
assets
calculation
methodologies
all
as
may
be
set
by
international, EU or national authorities.
The derivatives market has been the subject of particular focus for

regulators in recent years across the G20 countries and beyond, with
regulations introduced which require the reporting and clearing of
standardised over the counter ("OTC") derivatives and the mandatory
margining of non-cleared OTC derivatives. Other regulations applicable to
swap dealers, including those promulgated by the US Commodity Futures
Trading Commission, have imposed significant costs on the Bank Group's
derivatives business.
The recast Markets in Financial Instruments Directive in Europe (MiFID II),

which came into force in January 2018, has fundamentally changed the
European regulatory framework entailing significant operational changes
for market participants in a wide range of financial instruments as well as
changes in market structures and practices.
By virtue of the EU Benchmarks Regulation, after 1 January 2020, certain

Bank Group entities will not be permitted to use benchmarks unless the
relevant administrator is authorised, registered or qualifies under a third
party regime. This may necessitate adapting processes and systems to
transition to new alternative benchmarks, which would be a very time
consuming and costly process.
Separately, the transition to risk-free rates as part of a wider benchmark

reform is also expected to be impactful to the Bank Group in respect of the
timing of the development of a robust risk free rate market, an unfavourable
market reaction and/or inconsistencies in the adoption of products using the
new risk free rates, and also in respect of the costs and uncertainties
involved in managing and/or changing historical products to reference risk
free rates as a result of the proposed discontinuation of certain existing
benchmarks.
The Bank Group and certain of its members are subject to supervisory stress

testing exercises in a number of jurisdictions. These exercises currently
include the programmes of the Bank of England, the European Banking
Authority, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal
Reserve Board. Failure to meet requirements of regulatory stress tests, or
the failure by regulators to approve the stress test results and capital plans of
the Bank Group, could result in the Bank Group being required to enhance
its capital position, limit capital distributions or position additional capital in
specific subsidiaries.
The introduction and implementation of Payments Service Directive 2
("PSD2") with delivery across 2019 provides third parties and banks with
opportunities to change and enhance the relationship between a customer
and their bank. PSD2 will also introduce new requirements to the
authentication process for a number of actions customers take, including
ecommerce transactions. A failure to comply with PSD2 could expose the
Bank Group to regulatory sanction. The changes to authentication may
change the fraud environment across the industry as providers implement
different approaches to comply.
B.5 Description of
the group and
the Issuer's
position within
the group
The Bank Group is a major global financial services provider.
The Issuer is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Barclays PLC, which is the
ultimate holding company of the Bank Group.
B.9 Profit forecast
or estimate
Not Applicable: the Issuer has chosen not to include a profit forecast or
estimate.
B.10 Nature of any
qualifications in
audit report on
historical
financial
information
Not Applicable: the audit report on the historical financial information contains
no such qualifications.

Section C – Securities
C.1 Type and class
of
Securities
being
offered
and/or admitted
to trading
Securities described in this Summary may be debt securities or, where the
repayment terms are linked to the performance of a specified inflation index,
derivative securities.
Securities will bear interest at a fixed rate, a floating rate plus a fixed
percentage, a rate equal to a fixed percentage minus a floating rate, a rate that is
equal to the difference between two floating rates, a rate that is calculated by
reference to movements in a specified inflation index, or a rate that will vary
between two specified fixed rates (one of which may be zero) depending on
whether the specified floating rate exceeds the specified strike rate on the
relevant date of determination, may be zero coupon securities (which do not
bear interest) or may apply a combination of different interest types. The type of
interest (if any) payable on the Securities may be the same for all Interest
Payment Dates or may be different for different Interest Payment Dates.
Securities may include an option for the Issuer, at its discretion, to switch the
type of interest payable on the Securities once during the term of the Securities.
The amount of interest payable in respect of the Securities on an Interest
Payment Date may be subject to a range accrual factor that will vary depending
on the performance of a specified inflation index or one or more specified
floating rates during the observation period relating to that interest payment
date.
Securities may include an option for the Securities to be redeemed prior to
maturity at the election of the Issuer or the investor. If Securities are not
redeemed early they will redeem on the Scheduled Redemption Date and the
amount paid will either be a fixed redemption amount, or an amount linked to
the performance of a specified inflation index.
Securities may be cleared through a clearing system or uncleared and held in
bearer or registered form. Certain cleared Securities may be in dematerialised
and uncertificated book-entry form. Title to cleared Securities will be
determined by the books of the relevant clearing system.
Securities will be issued in one or more series (each a "Series") and each Series
may be issued in tranches (each a "Tranche") on the same or different issue
dates. The Securities of each Series are intended to be interchangeable with all
other Securities of that Series. Each Series will be allocated a unique Series
number and an identification code.
The Securities are transferable obligations of the Issuer that can be bought and
sold by investors in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Base
Prospectus (the "General Conditions"), as completed by the final terms
document (the "Final Terms") (the General Conditions as so completed, the
"Conditions").
Interest: The interest payable in respect of the Securities will be determined by
reference to a combination of a fixed rate of interest and a rate of interest linked
to the spread between two floating rates. The amount of interest payable in
respect of a security for an interest calculation period will be determined by
multiplying the interest calculation amount of such security by the applicable
interest rate and day count fraction.
Call or Put option: Not applicable
Final redemption: The final redemption amount will be 100 per cent. of GBP 1
(the Calculation Amount).
Form: The Securities will initially be issued in global bearer form.
Identification: Series number: NX000224108; Tranche number: 2
Identification codes: ISIN Code: XS1913913650; Common Code: 191391365;
SEDOL: BJDQ375
Governing law: The Securities will be governed by English law.
C.2 Currency Subject to compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and directives,
Securities may be issued in any currency. The terms of Securities may provide
that all amounts of interest and principal payable in respect of such Securities
will be paid in a settlement currency other than the currency in which they are
denominated, with such payments being converted into the settlement currency
at the prevailing exchange rate as determined by the Determination Agent.
The Securities will be denominated in Pounds Sterling ("GBP").
C.5 Description of
restrictions on
free
transferability
of the Securities
Securities are offered and sold outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in
reliance on Regulation S and must comply with transfer restrictions with respect
to the United States.
Securities held in a clearing system will be transferred in accordance with the
rules, procedures and regulations of that clearing system.
Subject to the above, the Securities will be freely transferable.
C.8 Description of
rights attached
to the Securities
including
ranking and
limitations to
those rights
Rights: Each Security includes a right to a potential return of interest and
amount payable on redemption together with certain ancillary rights such as the
right to receive notice of certain determinations and events and the right to vote
on future amendments.
Price: Securities will be issued at a price and in such denominations as agreed
between the Issuer and the relevant dealer(s) and/or manager(s) at the time of
issuance. The minimum denomination will be the Calculation Amount in
respect of which interest and redemption amounts will be calculated. The issue
price of the Securities is 100.00 per cent. The denomination of a Security is
GBP 1 (the "Calculation Amount").
Taxation: All payments in respect of the Securities shall be made without
withholding or deduction for or on account of any UK taxes unless such
withholding or deduction is required by law. In the event that any such
withholding or deduction is required by law, the Issuer will, unless 'Taxation
Gross Up' is specified as 'Not Applicable' in the Final Terms and otherwise save
in limited circumstances, pay additional amounts to cover the amounts so
withheld or deducted. If 'Taxation Gross Up' is specified as 'Not Applicable' in
the Final Terms the Issuer will not pay additional amounts to cover the amounts
so withheld or deducted.
Events of default: If the Issuer fails to make any payment due under the
Securities or breaches any other term and condition of the Securities in a way
that is materially prejudicial to the interests of the Holders (and such failure is
not remedied within 30 days, or, in the case of interest, 14 days), or the Issuer is
subject to a winding-up order, then (subject, in the case of interest, to the Issuer
being prevented from payment for a mandatory provision of law) the Securities
will become immediately due and payable, upon notice being given by the
Holder (or, in the case of French law Securities, the representative of the
Holders).
Ranking: The Securities are direct, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations
of the Issuer and rank equally among themselves.
Limitations to rights: Notwithstanding that the Securities are linked to the
performance of the underlying asset(s), Holders do not have any rights in
respect of the underlying assets. The terms and conditions of the Securities
contain provisions for calling meetings of Holders to consider matters affecting
their interests generally and these provisions permit defined majorities to bind
all Holders, including all Holders who voted in a manner contrary to the
majority. Furthermore, in certain circumstances, the Issuer may amend the terms
and conditions of the Securities, without the Holders' consent. The terms and
conditions of the Securities permit the Issuer and the Determination Agent (as
the case may be), on the occurrence of certain events and in certain
circumstances, without the Holders' consent, to make adjustments to the terms
and conditions of the Securities, to redeem the Securities prior to maturity,
(where applicable) to postpone valuation of the underlying asset(s) or scheduled
payments under the Securities, to change the currency in which the Securities
are denominated, to substitute the Issuer with another permitted entity subject to
certain conditions, and to take certain other actions with regard to the Securities
and the underlying asset(s) (if any).
Interest/
Redemption
Interest: In respect of each interest calculation period, Securities may or may
not bear interest. For each interest calculation period in respect of which the
Securities bear interest, interest will accrue at one of the following rates: a fixed
rate, a floating rate plus a fixed percentage, a rate equal to a fixed percentage
minus a floating rate, a rate that is equal to the difference between two floating
rates, a rate that is calculated by reference to movements in a specified inflation
index, a rate that will vary between two specified fixed rates (one of which may
be zero) depending on whether the specified floating rate exceeds a specified
level on the relevant date of determination, or a rate that is decompounded
floating rate. Securities may include an option for the Issuer, at its discretion, to
switch the type of interest payable on the Securities once during the term of the
Securities (the "Switch Option"). Securities may also include an option for the
Holder representing 100% of the Aggregate Nominal Amount (or of the
outstanding number, as applicable) to convert any existing type of interest
payable on the Securities to fixed rate interest (the "Conversion Option"). The
amount of interest payable in respect of the Securities on an Interest Payment
Date may also be subject to a range accrual factor that will vary depending on
the performance of a specified inflation index or one or more specified floating
rates, as described in 'Range Accrual Factor' below (the "Range Accrual
Factor").
Final Redemption: The amount payable on final redemption of the Securities
will either be fixed at a percentage of the Calculation Amount of the Securities,
or may reference the Calculation Amount of the Securities (being the minimum
denomination of the Securities) as adjusted upwards or downwards to account
for movements in an inflation index. Settlement procedures will depend on the
clearing system for the Securities and local practices in the jurisdiction of the
investor.
Optional Early Redemption: Certain Securities may be redeemed earlier than
the Scheduled Redemption Date following the exercise of a call option by the
Issuer or the exercise of a put option by a Holder of the Securities.
to fulfil its obligation under the Securities. Mandatory Early Redemption: Securities may also be redeemed earlier than
the Scheduled Redemption Date if performance of the Issuer's obligations
becomes illegal, if the Determination Agent so determines, following cessation
of publication of an inflation index, or following the occurrence of a change in
applicable law, a currency disruption or a tax event affecting the Issuer's ability

Section D – Risks
D.2 Key
information on
the key risks
that are specific
to the Issuer
The risks described below are material existing and emerging risks which senior
management has identified with respect to the Bank Group.
(i)
Material existing and emerging risks potentially impacting
more than one principal risk
Business conditions, general economy and geopolitical issues
The Bank Group's business mix spreads across multiple geographies and client
types. The breadth of these operations means that deterioration in the economic
environment, or an increase in political instability in countries where the Bank
Group is active, or in any systemically important economy, could adversely
affect the Bank Group's operating
performance, financial condition and
prospects.
Process of UK withdrawal from the European Union
The uncertainty around Brexit spanned the whole of 2018, and intensified in the
second half of the year. The full impact of the withdrawal may only be realised
in years to come, as the economy adjusts to the new regime, but the Bank Group
continues to monitor the most relevant risks, including those that may have a
more immediate impact, for its business:

Market volatility, including in currencies and interest rates, might
increase which could have an impact on the value of the Bank Group's
trading book positions.

Potential UK financial institutions credit spread widening could lead to
reduced investor appetite for the Bank Group's debt securities; this
could negatively impact the cost of, and/or access to, funding.

A credit rating agency downgrade applied directly to the Bank Group,
or indirectly as a result of a credit rating agency downgrade to the UK
Government, could significantly increase the Bank Group's borrowing
costs, credit spreads and materially adversely affect the Bank Group's
interest margins and liquidity position.

Changes in the long-term outlook for UK interest rates may adversely
affect pension liabilities and the market value of investments funding
those liabilities;

Increased risk of a UK recession with lower growth, higher
unemployment and falling UK house prices. This would negatively
impact a number of the Bank Group's portfolios.

The implementation of trade and customs barriers between the UK and
EU could lead to delays and increased costs in the passage of goods for
corporate banking customers. This could negatively impact the levels
of customer defaults and business volumes which may result in an
increase in the Bank Group's impairment charges and a reduction in
revenues.

Changes to current EU "Passporting" rights may require further
adjustment to the current model for the Bank Group's cross-border
banking operation which could increase operational complexity and/or
costs.

The ability to attract, or prevent the departure of, qualified and skilled
employees may be impacted by the UK's and the EU's future approach
to the EU freedom of movement and immigration from the EU
countries and this may impact the Bank's access to the EU talent pool.

The legal framework within which the Bank Group operates could
change and become more uncertain if the UK takes steps to replace or
repeal certain laws currently in force, which are based on EU
legislation and regulation following its withdrawal from the EU.

Should the UK lose automatic qualification to be part of Single Euro
Payments Area there could be a resultant impact on the efficiency of,
and access to, European payment systems. In addition, loss of
automatic qualification to the European Economic Area (EEA) or
access to financial markets infrastructure could impact service
provision for clients, likely resulting in reduced market share and
revenue and increased operating costs for the Bank Group.

There are certain execution risks relating to the transfer of the Bank
Group's European businesses to Barclays Bank Ireland PLC.
Interest rate rises adversely impacting credit conditions
To the extent that central banks increase interest rates particularly in the Bank
Group's main markets, in the UK and the US, there could be an impact on
consumer debt affordability and corporate profitability. While interest rate rises
could positively impact the Bank Group's profitability, as retail and corporate
business income may increase due to margin de-compression, future interest
rate increases, if larger or more frequent than expectations, could cause stress in
the loan portfolio and underwriting activity of the Bank Group. Higher credit
losses driving an increased impairment allowance would most notably impact
retail
unsecured portfolios and wholesale non-
investment
grade lending.
Changes in interest rates could also have an adverse impact on the value of high
quality liquid assets which are part of the Bank Group Treasury function's
investment activity.
Consequently, this could create more volatility than
expected through the Bank Group's FVOCI reserves.
Regulatory change agenda and impact on business model
The Bank Group remains subject to ongoing significant levels of regulatory
change and scrutiny in many of the countries in which it operates (including, in
particular, the UK and the US). A more intensive regulatory approach and
enhanced requirements together with the uncertainty (particularly in light of the
UK's withdrawal from the EU) and potential lack of international regulatory co
ordination as enhanced supervisory standards are developed and implemented
may adversely affect the Bank Group's business, capital and risk management
strategies and/or may result in the Bank Group deciding to modify its legal
entity structure, capital and funding structures and business mix, or to exit
certain business activities altogether or not to expand in areas despite otherwise
attractive potential.
(ii)
Material existing and emerging risks
impacting individual
principal risks
Credit risk:
1.
Impairment: The introduction of the impairment requirements of IFRS
Financial Instruments, implemented on 1 January 2018, results in
impairment loss allowances that are recognised earlier, on a more
forward looking basis and on a broader scope of financial instruments
than has been the case under IAS 39 and has had, and may continue to
have, a material impact on the Bank Group's financial condition.
2.
Specific sectors and concentrations: The Bank Group is subject to risks
arising from changes in credit quality and recovery rate of loans and
advances due from borrowers and counterparties in a specific portfolio.
Any deterioration in credit quality could lead to lower recoverability
and higher impairment in a specific sector.
3.
Environmental risk: The Bank Group is exposed to credit risks arising
from energy and climate change. Indirect risks may be incurred as a
result of environmental issues impacting the credit worthiness of the
borrower resulting in higher impairment.
Market risk: An uncertain outlook for the direction of monetary policy, the
US-China trade conflict, slowing global growth and political concerns in the US
and Europe (including Brexit), are some of the factors that could heighten
market risks for the Bank Group's portfolios.
In addition, the Bank Group's trading business is generally exposed to a
prolonged period of elevated asset price volatility, particularly if it negatively
affects the depth of marketplace liquidity. Such a scenario could impact the
Bank Group's ability to execute client trades and may also result in lower client
flow-driven income and/or market-based losses on its existing portfolio of
market risks. These can include having to absorb higher hedging costs from
rebalancing risks that need to be managed dynamically as market levels and
their associated volatilities change.
Treasury and capital risk: The Bank Group may not be able to achieve its
business plans due to: a) inability to maintain appropriate capital ratios; b)
inability to meet its obligations as they fall due; c) rating agency downgrades; d)
adverse changes in
foreign exchange rates on capital ratios; e) adverse
movements in the pension fund; f) non-traded market risk/interest rate risk in
the banking book.
Operational risk:

Cyber threat: The financial sector remains a primary target for cyber
criminals. There is an increasing level of sophistication in both
criminal and nation state hacking for the purpose of stealing money,
stealing, destroying or manipulating data, and/or disrupting operations.
Other events have a compounding impact on services and customers.
Failure to adequately manage this threat could result in increased fraud
losses, inability to perform critical economic functions, customer
detriment, potential regulatory censure or penalties, legal liability,
reduction in shareholder value and reputational damage.

Fraud:
Criminals
continue
to
adapt
their
techniques
and
are
increasingly focused on targeting customers and clients through ever
more sophisticated methods of social engineering. External data
breaches also provide criminals with the opportunity to exploit the
growing levels of compromised data. These threats could lead
to
customer detriment, loss of business, regulatory censure, missed
business opportunity and reputational damage.

Operational resilience: The loss of or disruption to the Bank Group's
business processing is a material inherent risk theme within the Bank
Group and across the financial services industry, whether arising
through impacts on technology systems, real estate services, personnel
availability or the support of major suppliers. Failure to build resilience
into business processes or into the services of technology, real estate or
suppliers on which the Bank Group business processes depend may
result in significant customer detriment, costs to reimburse losses
incurred by customers, potential regulatory censure or penalties, and
reputational damage.

Supplier exposure: The Bank Group depends on suppliers for the
provision of many of its services and the development of technology.
Failure to monitor and control the Bank Group's suppliers could
potentially lead to client information or critical infrastructures not
being adequately protected or available when required. Failure to
adequately manage outsourcing risk could result in increased losses,
inability to perform critical economic functions, customer detriment,
potential regulatory censure, legal liability and reputational damages.

Processing error: Material operational or payment errors could
disadvantage the Bank Group's customers, clients or counterparties and
could result in regulatory censure, legal liability, reputational damage
and financial loss for the Bank Group.

New and emerging technology: Introducing new forms of technology,
however, also has the potential to increase inherent risk. Failure to
evaluate, actively manage and closely monitor risk exposure during all
phases of business development could lead to customer detriment, loss
of business, regulatory censure, missed business opportunity and
reputational damage.

Ability to hire and retain appropriately qualified employees: Failure to
attract or prevent the departure of appropriately qualified employees
could negatively impact the Bank Group's financial performance,
control environment and level of employee engagement. Additionally,
this may result in disruption to service which could in turn lead to
disenfranchising certain customer groups, customer detriment and
reputational damage.

Tax risk: There is a risk that the Bank Group could suffer losses due to
additional tax charges, other financial costs or reputational damage as a
result of failing to comply with such laws and practice, or by failing to
manage its tax affairs in an appropriate manner, with much of this risk
attributable to the international structure of the Bank Group.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements: The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with IFRS
requires the use of
estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in
applying relevant accounting policies. There is a risk that if the
judgement
exercised,
or
the
estimates
or
assumptions
used,
subsequently turn out to be incorrect, this could result in significant
loss to the Bank Group, beyond what was anticipated or provided for.

Data management and information protection: The Bank Group holds
and processes large volumes of data, including personally identifiable
information, intellectual property, and financial data. Failure to
accurately collect and maintain this data, protect it from breaches of
confidentiality and interference with its availability exposes the Bank
Group to the risk of loss or unavailability of data or data integrity
issues. This could result in regulatory censure, legal liability and
reputational damage, including the risk of substantial fines under the
General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR"), which strengthens
the
data
protection
rights
for
customers
and
increases
the
accountability of the Bank Group in its management of that data.

Unauthorised or rogue trading: Unauthorised trading, such as a large
unhedged position, which arises through a failure of preventative
controls or deliberate actions of the trader, may result in large financial
losses for the Bank Group, loss of business, damage to investor
confidence and reputational damage.

Algorithmic trading: In some areas of the investment banking business,
trading algorithms are used to price and risk manage client and
principal transactions. An algorithmic error could result in increased
market exposure and subsequent financial losses for the Bank Group
and potential loss of business, damage to investor confidence and
reputational damage.
Model risk: The Bank Group relies on models to support a broad range of
business and risk management activities, including informing business decisions
and strategies, measuring and limiting risk, valuing exposures, conducting stress
testing, assessing capital adequacy, supporting new business acceptance and
risk and reward evaluation, managing client assets, and meeting reporting
requirements.
Models
are,
by
their
nature,
imperfect
and
incomplete
representations of reality. Models may also be misused. Model errors or misuse
may result in the Bank Group making inappropriate business decisions and
being subject to financial
loss, regulatory risk, reputational risk and/or
inadequate capital reporting.
Conduct risk: There is the risk of detriment to customers, clients, market
integrity, effective competition or the Bank Group from the inappropriate
supply of financial services, including
instances of wilful or negligent
misconduct.
1.
Ineffective product governance could lead to poor customer outcomes,
regulatory sanctions, financial loss and reputational damage.
2.
The Bank Group may be adversely affected if it fails to effectively
mitigate the risk that third parties or its employees facilitate, or that its
products and services are used to facilitate financial crime. Failure to
comply may lead to enforcement action by the Bank Group's
regulators together with severe penalties, affecting the Bank Group's
reputation and financial results.
3.
Failure to protect personal data can lead to potential detriment to the
Bank Group's customers and clients, reputational damage, regulatory
sanctions and financial loss, which under the GDPR may be
substantial.
4.
Failure to meet the requirements and expectations of the UK Senior
Managers Regime, Certification Regime and Conduct Rules may lead
to regulatory sanctions, both for the individuals and the Bank Group.
Reputation risk: A risk arising in one business area can have an adverse effect
upon the Bank Group's overall reputation; any one transaction, investment or
event that, in the perception of key stakeholders reduces their trust in the Bank
Group's integrity and competence.
The Bank Group's associations with sensitive topics and sectors have the
potential to give rise to reputation risk for the Bank Group and may result in
loss of business, regulatory censure and missed business opportunity.
In addition, reputation risk has the potential to arise from operational issues or
conduct matters which cause detriment to customers, clients, market integrity,
effective competition or the Bank Group.
Legal risk and legal, competition and regulatory matters: Legal disputes,
regulatory investigations,
fines and other sanctions relating to conduct of
business and breaches of legislation and/or regulations may negatively affect the
Bank Group's results, reputation and ability to conduct its business.
The Bank Group conducts diverse activities in a highly regulated global market
and therefore is exposed to the risk of fines and other sanctions. Authorities
have continued to investigate past practices, pursued alleged breaches and
imposed heavy penalties on financial services firms. A breach of applicable
legislation and/or regulations could result in the Bank Group or its staff being
subject to criminal prosecution, regulatory censure, fines and other sanctions in
the jurisdictions in which it operates. Where clients, customers or other third
parties are harmed by the Bank Group's conduct, this may also give rise to legal
proceedings, including
class actions. Other legal disputes may also arise
between the Bank Group and third parties relating to matters such as breaches,
enforcement of legal rights or obligations arising under contracts, statutes or
common law. Adverse findings in any such matters may result in the Bank
Group being liable to third parties or may result in the Bank Group's rights not
being enforced as intended.
D.3 Key
information on
You may lose up to the entire value of your investment in the Securities:
the key risks
that are specific
to the Securities
The payment of any amount due under the Securities is dependent upon
the Issuer's ability to fulfil its obligations when they fall due. The Securities
are unsecured obligations. They are not deposits and they are not protected
under the UK's Financial Services Compensation Scheme or any other
deposit protection insurance scheme. Therefore, even if the relevant
Securities are stated to be repayable at an amount that is equal to or
greater than their initial purchase price, if the Issuer fails or is otherwise
unable to meet its payment or delivery obligations under the Securities, you
will lose some or all of your investment.
You may also lose some or all of your entire investment if:
you sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market (if any)

at an amount that is less than the initial purchase price;
the Securities are redeemed early for reasons beyond the control of the

Issuer (such as following a change in applicable law, a currency disruption
or a tax event affecting the Issuer's ability to fulfil its obligations under the
Securities) and the amount paid to investors is less than the initial purchase
price; or
the terms and conditions of the Securities are adjusted (in accordance with

the terms and conditions of the Securities) with the result that the
redemption amount payable to investors and/or the value of the Securities
is reduced.
Reinvestment risk/loss of yield:
Following an early redemption of the
Securities for any reason, Holders may be unable to reinvest the redemption
proceeds at a rate of return as high as the return on the Securities being
redeemed.
Volatile market prices: The market value of the Securities is unpredictable and
may be highly volatile, as it can be affected by many unpredictable factors,
including: market interest and yield rates; fluctuations in currency exchange
rates; exchange controls; the time remaining until the Securities mature;
economic, financial, regulatory, political, terrorist, military or other events in
one or more jurisdictions; changes in laws or regulations; and the Issuer's
creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness.
Risks relating to Spread-Linked Interest: The rate of interest payable on the
Securities will be linked to the spread of Spread-Linked Rate One(t) over
Spread-Linked Rate Two(t) on the date of determination. If on such date of
determination Spread-Linked Rate Two(t) is equal to or greater than Spread
Linked Rate One(t), no interest will be payable on the Securities.
