Barclays Bank
PLC
$2,438,000
Capped Leveraged Buffered S&P 500® Index-Linked Global Medium-Term Notes, Series A, due 2026
The notes will not bear interest. The amount that you will
be paid on your notes on the stated maturity date (July 8, 2026) is based on the performance of the S&P 500®
Index (which we refer to as the underlier) as measured from and including the trade date (July 5, 2024) to and including the
determination date (July 6, 2026). If the final underlier level on the determination date is greater than the initial underlier
level of 5,567.19, the return on your notes will be positive, subject to the maximum settlement amount of $1,192.00 for each $1,000
face amount of your notes, and will be calculated in the manner set forth below. If the final underlier level declines by up to
20.00% from the initial underlier level, you will receive the face amount of your notes. If the final underlier level declines by
more than 20.00% from the initial underlier level, the return on your notes will be negative.
You could lose your entire investment in the notes. Any payment
on the notes, including any repayment of principal, is not guaranteed by any third party and is subject to (a) the creditworthiness of
Barclays Bank PLC and (b) the risk of exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power (as described on page PS-3 of this pricing supplement) by the
relevant U.K. resolution authority.
To determine your payment at maturity, we will calculate the underlier
return, which is the percentage increase or decrease in the final underlier level from the initial underlier level. On the stated maturity
date, for each $1,000 face amount of your notes, you will receive an amount in cash equal to:
| · | if the underlier return is positive (the final underlier level is greater than the initial underlier level), the sum
of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of (a) $1,000 times (b) 1.5 times (c) the underlier
return, subject to the maximum settlement amount; |
| · | if the underlier return is zero or negative but not below -20.00% (the final underlier level is equal to
or less than the initial underlier level but not by more than 20.00%), $1,000; or |
| · | if the underlier return is negative and is below -20.00% (the final underlier level is less than the initial
underlier level by more than 20.00%), the sum of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of (a) 1.25 times
(b) the sum of the underlier return plus 20.00% times (c) $1,000 (in which case you will receive less
than $1,000). |
Because we have provided only a brief summary of the terms of your
notes above, you should read the detailed description of the terms of the notes found in “Summary Information” on page PS-2
in this pricing supplement.
Your investment in the notes involves certain risks, including
among other things, our credit risk and the risk of exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page
S-9 of the accompanying prospectus supplement and “Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes” beginning on page PS-12
of this pricing supplement so that you may better understand those risks.
Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of the notes
or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between Barclays Bank PLC and any holder or beneficial owner of the notes (or
the trustee on behalf of the holders of the notes), by acquiring the notes, each holder and beneficial owner 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. See
“Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power” in this pricing supplement and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus
supplement.

SUMMARY INFORMATION
You should read this pricing supplement together with the prospectus
dated May 23, 2022, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated June 27, 2022 relating to our Global Medium-Term Notes, Series
A, of which the notes are a part, and the underlying supplement dated June 27, 2022. This pricing supplement, together with the documents
listed below, contains the terms of the notes and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written
materials including preliminary or indicative pricing terms, correspondence, trade ideas, structures for implementation, sample structures,
brochures or other educational materials of ours. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth under “Risk
Factors” in the prospectus supplement and “Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes” on page PS-12 of this pricing
supplement, as the notes involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal,
tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the notes.
You may access these documents on the SEC website at www.sec.gov as
follows (or if such address has changed, by reviewing our filings for the relevant date on the SEC website):
Our SEC file number is 1-10257 and our Central Index Key, or CIK, on
the SEC website is 0000312070. As used in this pricing supplement, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Barclays
Bank PLC.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING OUR ESTIMATED
VALUE OF THE NOTES
Our internal pricing models take into account a number of variables
and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which may or may not materialize, typically including volatility, interest rates
and our internal funding rates. Our internal funding rates (which are our internally published borrowing rates based on variables, such
as market benchmarks, our appetite for borrowing and our existing obligations coming to maturity) may vary from the levels at which our
benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. Our estimated value on the trade date is based on our internal funding rates.
Our estimated value of the notes might be lower if such valuation were based on the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade
in the secondary market.
Our estimated value of the notes on the trade date is less than the
initial issue price of the notes. The difference between the initial issue price of the notes and our estimated value of the notes results
from several factors, including any sales commissions to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions,
discounts, commissions or fees to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates
expect to earn in connection with structuring the notes, the estimated cost that we may incur in hedging our obligations under the notes,
and estimated development and other costs that we may incur in connection with the notes. These other costs will include a fee paid to
iCapital Markets LLC, an electronic platform in which an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, who is acting as a dealer in connection
with the distribution of the notes, holds an indirect minority equity interest, for services it is providing in connection with this offering.
Our estimated value on the trade date is not a prediction of the price
at which the notes may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may buy or sell the notes
in the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours intends to
offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market but it is not obligated to do so.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the trade date,
the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the notes in the secondary market, if any, and the value that we may
initially use for customer account statements, if we provide any customer account statements at all, may exceed our estimated value on
the trade date for a temporary period expected to be approximately three months after the initial issue date of the notes because, in
our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the
notes and other costs in connection with the notes that we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the notes. We made such discretionary
election and determined this temporary reimbursement period on the basis of a number of factors, which may include the tenor of the notes
and/or any agreement we may have with the distributors of the notes. The amount of our estimated costs that we effectively reimburse to
investors in this way may not be allocated ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any
time or revise the duration of the reimbursement period after the initial issue date of the notes based on changes in market conditions
and other factors that cannot be predicted.
We urge you to read “Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your
Notes” on page PS-12 of this pricing supplement.
CONSENT TO U.K. BAIL-IN POWER
Notwithstanding and to the
exclusion of any other term of the notes or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between us and any holder or beneficial
owner of the notes (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the notes), by acquiring the notes, each holder and beneficial owner 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.
Under the U.K. Banking Act 2009,
as amended, the relevant U.K. resolution authority may exercise a U.K. Bail-in Power in circumstances in which the relevant U.K. resolution
authority is satisfied that the resolution conditions are met. These conditions include that a U.K. bank or investment firm is failing
or is likely to fail to satisfy the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) threshold conditions for authorization
to carry on certain regulated activities (within the meaning of section 55B FSMA) or, in the case of a U.K. banking group company that
is a European Economic Area (“EEA”) or third country institution or investment firm, that the relevant EEA or third country
relevant authority is satisfied that the resolution conditions are met in respect of that entity.
The U.K. Bail-in Power includes
any write-down, conversion, transfer, modification and/or suspension power, which allows for (i) the reduction or cancellation of all,
or a portion, of the principal amount of, interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the notes; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion,
of the principal amount of, interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the notes into shares or other securities or other obligations
of Barclays Bank PLC or another person (and the issue to, or conferral on, the holder or beneficial owner of the notes such shares, securities
or obligations); (iii) the cancellation of the notes and/or (iv) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the notes, or amendment
of the amount of interest or any other amounts due on the notes, or the dates on which interest or any other amounts become 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 and beneficial
owner of the notes further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the holders or beneficial owners 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 or beneficial owners 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 more information, please see
“Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes—Risks Relating to the Issuer—You May Lose Some or All of Your Investment
If Any U.K. Bail-in Power Is Exercised by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority” in this pricing supplement as well as “U.K.
Bail-in Power,” “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Securities Generally—Regulatory action in the event a bank
or investment firm in the Group is failing or likely to fail, including the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of a variety
of statutory resolution powers, could materially adversely affect the value of any securities” and
“Risk Factors—Risks
Relating to the Securities Generally—Under the terms of the securities, you have agreed to be bound by the exercise of any U.K.
Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
KEY TERMS
Issuer: Barclays Bank PLC
Underlier: the S&P 500® Index (Bloomberg ticker
symbol, “SPX <Index>”), as published by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC
Specified currency: U.S. dollars (“$”)
Face amount: each note will have a face amount of $1,000; $2,438,000
in the aggregate for all the notes
Purchase at amount other than face amount: the amount we will
pay you at the stated maturity date for your notes will not be adjusted based on the issue price you pay for your notes, so if you acquire
notes at a premium (or discount) to face amount and hold them to the stated maturity date, it could affect your investment in a number
of ways. The return on your investment in such notes will be lower (or higher) than it would have been had you purchased the notes at
face amount. Also, the stated buffer level would not offer the same measure of protection to your investment as would be the case if you
had purchased the notes at face amount. Additionally, the cap level would be triggered at a lower (or higher) percentage return than indicated
below, relative to your initial investment. See “Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes—Risks Relating to the Notes
Generally—If You Purchase Your Notes at a Premium to Face Amount, the Return on Your Investment Will Be Lower Than the Return on
Notes Purchased at Face Amount or a Discount and the Impact of Certain Key Terms of the Notes Will Be Negatively Affected” on page
PS-12 of this pricing supplement.
Cash settlement amount (on the stated maturity date): for each
$1,000 face amount of your notes, we will pay you on the stated maturity date an amount in cash equal to:
| · | if the final underlier level is greater than or equal to the cap level, the maximum settlement amount; |
| · | if the final underlier level is greater than the initial underlier level but less than the cap level, the sum
of (1) $1,000 plus (2) the product of (i) $1,000 times (ii) the upside participation rate times
(iii) the underlier return; |
| · | if the final underlier level is equal to or less than the initial underlier level but greater than or equal
to the buffer level, $1,000; or |
| · | if the final underlier level is less than the buffer level, the sum of (1) $1,000 plus (2) the product
of (i) $1,000 times (ii) the buffer rate times (iii) the sum of the underlier return plus the
buffer amount (in which case you will receive less than $1,000). |
Any payment on the notes, including any repayment of principal,
is not guaranteed by any third party and is subject to (a) the creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC, and (b) the risk of exercise of
any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority.
Initial underlier level: 5,567.19, which is the closing level
of the underlier on the trade date
Final underlier level: the closing level of the underlier on
the determination date, subject to adjustment in limited circumstances as provided under “Reference Assets—Indices—Adjustments
Relating to Securities with an Index as a Reference Asset” on page S-82 of the accompanying prospectus supplement; and subject to
market disruption events and non-trading days as described under “Reference Assets—Indices—Market Disruption Events
for Securities with an Index of Equity Securities as a Reference Asset” on page S-79 of the accompanying prospectus supplement
Underlier return: the quotient of (1) the final underlier
level minus the initial underlier level divided by (2) the initial underlier level, expressed as a percentage

the event of a market disruption event or non-trading day as described under “Reference Assets—Indices—Market Disruption
Events for Securities with an Index of Equity Securities as a Reference Asset” on page S-79 of the accompanying prospectus supplement.
For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the determination date be postponed by more than five trading days.
Stated maturity date: July 8, 2026. The maturity date will be
postponed if the determination date is postponed due to the occurrence or continuance of a market disruption event or a non-trading day
on the determination date. In such a case, the maturity date will be postponed by the same number of business days from but excluding
the originally scheduled determination date to and including the actual determination date. The maturity date will also be postponed if
that date is not a business day. See “Terms of the Notes—Payment Dates” on page S-44 of the accompanying prospectus

Business day: as defined under “Terms of the Notes—Business
Day” on page S-45 of the accompanying prospectus supplement
Trading day: notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
accompanying prospectus supplement, with respect to the underlier, a day, as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion,
on which (i) each of the relevant exchanges on which each underlier stock is traded is scheduled to be open for trading and trading is
generally conducted on each such relevant exchange; and (ii) the underlier is calculated and published by the underlier sponsor
Use of proceeds and hedging: as described under “Use of
Proceeds and Hedging” on page S-106 of the accompanying prospectus supplement
Tax consequences: you should review carefully
the sections in the accompanying prospectus supplement entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Consequences
to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as Prepaid Forward or Derivative Contracts” and, if you are a non-U.S. holder, “—Tax
Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders.” The following discussion, when read in combination with those sections, constitutes the full
opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning
and disposing of the notes. The
following discussion supersedes the discussion in
the accompanying prospectus supplement to the extent it is inconsistent therewith.
Based on current market conditions, in the opinion
of our special tax counsel, it is reasonable to treat the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts with
respect to the underlier. Assuming this treatment is respected, upon a sale or exchange of the notes (including redemption at maturity),
you should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or exchange and your tax basis
in the notes, which should equal the amount you paid to acquire the notes. This gain or loss on your notes should be treated as long-term
capital gain or loss if you hold your notes for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of notes at the original
issue price. However, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a court may not respect this treatment, in which case the
timing and character of any income or loss on the notes could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in 2007 the U.S. Treasury
Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts”
and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the
term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect
to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the
degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax;
and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate
to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest charge. While the notice requests comments
on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these
issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. You
should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, including possible alternative
treatments and the issues presented by this notice.
Treasury regulations under Section 871(m) generally impose a withholding
tax on certain “dividend equivalents” under certain “equity linked instruments.” A recent IRS notice excludes
from the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1, 2027 that do not have a “delta of one” with respect
to underlying securities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each an “Underlying Security”).
Based on our determination that the notes do not have a “delta of one” within the meaning of the regulations, our special
tax counsel is of the opinion that these regulations should not apply to the notes with regard to non-U.S. holders. Our determination
is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend
on your particular circumstances, including whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. You should
consult your tax advisor regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the notes.
ERISA: as described under “Benefit Plan Investor Considerations”
on page S-92 of the accompanying prospectus supplement
Supplemental plan of distribution: we have agreed to sell to
Barclays Capital Inc. (the “agent”), and the agent has agreed to purchase from us, the face amount of the notes at the price
specified on the cover of this pricing supplement. The agent has committed to take and pay for all of the notes, if any are taken. The
agent proposes initially to offer the notes to the public at the initial issue price set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement,
and to certain unaffiliated securities dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of 1.73% of the face amount.
We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment for
the notes on the original issue date, which is more than one business day following the trade date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the accompanying prospectus supplement, under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, effective May 28, 2024,
trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree
otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on any date prior to one business day before delivery will be required
to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisor.
We have been advised by Barclays Capital Inc. that it intends to make
a market in the notes. However, neither Barclays Capital Inc. nor any of our affiliates that makes a market is obligated to do so and
any of them may stop doing so at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity or trading market for the notes.
Calculation agent: Barclays Bank PLC
CUSIP no.: 06745UDW7
ISIN no.: US06745UDW71
Conflicts of interest: Barclays Capital Inc. is an affiliate
of Barclays Bank PLC and, as such, has a “conflict of interest” in this offering within the meaning of Rule 5121 of the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Consequently, the offering is being conducted in compliance with the provisions of Rule 5121. Barclays
Capital Inc. is not permitted to sell notes in this offering to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the
prior specific written approval of the account holder.
FDIC: the notes are not bank deposits and are not insured by
the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) or any other governmental agency, nor are they obligations of,
or guaranteed by, a bank.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under “Reference Assets—Indices—Adjustments
Relating to Securities with an Index as a Reference Asset” on page S-82 of the accompanying prospectus supplement, if a successor
index is selected by the calculation agent as described in that section, the calculation agent may in its sole discretion adjust the initial
underlier level, any level derived from the initial underlier level and/or any closing level of that successor index with a view toward
offsetting, to the extent practicable, any difference in the relative levels of the original underlier and the successor index at the
time the original underlier is replaced by the successor index, but the calculation agent may not adjust any other term of the notes.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES
The following table and chart are provided for purposes of illustration
only. They should not be taken as an indication or prediction of future investment results and are intended merely to illustrate the impact
that the various hypothetical closing levels on the determination date could have on the cash settlement amount at maturity assuming all
other variables remain constant.
The examples below are based on a range of final underlier levels that
are entirely hypothetical; no one can predict what the closing level will be on any day throughout the term of your notes, and no one
can predict what the final underlier level will be on the determination date. The underlier has been highly volatile in the past—meaning
that the closing level has changed considerably in relatively short periods—and its performance cannot be predicted for any future
period.
The information in the following examples reflects hypothetical rates
of return on the notes assuming that they are purchased on the original issue date at the face amount and held to the stated maturity
date. If you sell your notes in a secondary market prior to the stated maturity date, your return will depend upon the market value of
your notes at the time of sale, which may be affected by a number of factors that are not reflected in the table below, such as interest
rates, the volatility of the underlier and our creditworthiness. In addition, assuming no changes in market conditions or our creditworthiness
and any other relevant factors, the value of your notes on the trade date will, and the price you may receive for your notes may, be significantly
less than the initial issue price. For more information on the value of your notes in the secondary market, see “Risk Factors”
on page S-9 of the accompanying prospectus supplement and “Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes—Risks Relating to
the Estimated Value of the Notes and the Secondary Market—The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Not a Prediction of the Prices at
Which You May Sell Your Notes in the Secondary Market, if Any, and Such Secondary Market Prices, if Any, Will Likely Be Lower Than the
Initial Issue Price of Your Notes and May Be Lower Than the Estimated Value of Your Notes” on page PS-16 of this pricing supplement.
The information in the table also reflects the key hypothetical terms and assumptions in the following box.

| Neither a market disruption event nor a non-trading day occurs on the originally scheduled determination date |
| No change in or affecting any of the underlier stocks or the method by which the underlier sponsor calculates the underlier |
| Notes purchased on original issue date for the initial issue price noted on the cover page of this pricing supplement and held to the stated maturity date |
For these reasons, the actual performance of the underlier over the
term of your notes, as well as the amount payable at maturity, if any, may bear little relation to the hypothetical examples shown below
or to the historical closing levels of the underlier shown elsewhere in this pricing supplement. For information about the historical
closing levels of the underlier during recent periods, see “The Underlier—Historical Closing Levels of the Underlier”
below. Before investing in the notes, you should consult publicly available information to determine the levels of the underlier between
the date of this pricing supplement and the date of your purchase of the notes.
Also, the hypothetical examples shown below do not take into account
the effects of applicable taxes. Because of the U.S. tax treatment applicable to your notes, tax liabilities could affect the after-tax
rate of return on your notes to a comparatively greater extent than the after-tax return on the underlier stocks.
The levels in the left column of the table below represent hypothetical
final underlier levels and are expressed as percentages of the initial underlier level. The amounts in the right column represent the
hypothetical cash settlement amounts, each based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlier level (expressed as a percentage of
the initial underlier level), and are expressed as percentages of the face amount of a note (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of
a percent). Thus, a hypothetical cash settlement amount of 100.000% means that the value of the cash payment that we would deliver for
each $1,000 of the outstanding face amount of the notes on the stated maturity date would equal 100.000% of the face amount of a note,
based on the corresponding hypothetical final underlier level (expressed as a percentage of the initial underlier level) and the assumptions
noted above.

If, for example, the final underlier level were determined to be 25.000%
of the initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would be 31.250% of the face
amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. As a result, if you purchased your notes on the original issue date at the face amount
and held them to the stated maturity date, you would lose 68.750% of your investment (if you purchased your notes at a premium to face
amount, you would lose a correspondingly higher percentage of your investment). In addition, if the final underlier level were determined
to be 112.800% or more of the initial underlier level, the cash settlement amount that we would deliver on your notes at maturity would
be capped at the maximum settlement amount (expressed as a percentage of the face amount), or 119.200% of each $1,000 face amount of your
notes, as shown in the table above. As a result, if you purchased your notes on the original issue date and held them to the stated maturity
date, you would not benefit from any increase in the final underlier level over 112.800% of the initial underlier level.
The following chart also shows a graphical illustration of the hypothetical
cash settlement amounts (expressed as a percentage of the face amount of your notes) that we would pay on your notes on the stated maturity
date, if the final underlier level (expressed as a percentage of the initial underlier level) were any of the hypothetical levels shown
on the horizontal axis. The chart shows that any hypothetical final underlier level (expressed as a percentage of the initial underlier
level) of less than 80.000% (the section left of the 80.000% marker on the horizontal axis) would result in a hypothetical cash settlement
amount of less than 100.000% of the face amount of your notes (the section below the 100.000% marker on the vertical axis) and, accordingly,
in a loss of principal to the holder of the notes. The chart also shows that any hypothetical final underlier level (expressed as a percentage
of the initial underlier level) of greater than 112.800% (the section right of the 112.800% marker on the horizontal axis) would result
in a capped return on your investment.
The cash settlement amounts shown above are entirely hypothetical; they
are based on closing levels for the underlier that may not be achieved on the determination date and on assumptions that may prove to
be erroneous. The actual market value of your notes on the stated maturity date or at any other time, including any time you may wish
to sell your notes, may bear little relation to the hypothetical cash settlement amounts shown above, and these amounts should not be
viewed as an indication of the financial return on an investment in the notes. The hypothetical cash settlement amounts on notes held
to the stated maturity date in the examples above assume you purchased your notes at their face amount and have not been adjusted to reflect
the actual issue price you pay for your notes. The return on your investment (whether positive or negative) in your notes will be affected
by the amount you pay for your notes. If you purchase your notes for a price other than the face amount, the return on your investment
will differ from, and may be significantly lower than, the hypothetical returns suggested by the above examples.
Please read “Additional Risk Factors Specific to Your Notes—Risks
Relating to the Estimated Value of the Notes and the Secondary Market—Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of
Your Notes” on page PS-15 of this pricing supplement.
We cannot predict the actual final underlier
level or what the market value of your notes will be on any particular trading day, nor can we predict the relationship between the closing
level of the underlier and the market value of your notes at any time prior to the stated maturity date. The actual amount that you will
receive, if any, at maturity and the rate of return on the notes will depend on the actual final underlier level determined by the calculation
agent as described above. Moreover, the assumptions on which the hypothetical returns are based may turn out to be inaccurate. Consequently,
the amount of cash to be paid in respect of your notes, if any, on the stated maturity date may be very different from the information
reflected in the table and chart above.
Additional Risk
Factors Specific to Your Notes
An investment in the notes involves significant
risks. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the notes. Investing in
the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the underlier or any of the underlier stocks, i.e. the stocks composing the underlier.
Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the notes are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation
of risks relating to the notes generally in the “Risk Factors” section of the prospectus supplement. You should not purchase
the notes unless you understand and can bear the risks of investing in the notes.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
You May Lose Your Entire Investment in the
Notes
You can lose your entire investment in the notes. The cash payment on
your notes, if any, on the stated maturity date will be based on the performance of the underlier as measured from the initial underlier
level set on the trade date to the closing level of the underlier on the determination date (also referred to as the “final underlier
level”). If the final underlier level is less than the buffer level, you will lose 1.25% of the face amount of your notes for every
1% that the final underlier level is less than the buffer level. Thus, you may lose your entire investment in the notes, which would include
any premium to face amount you paid when you purchased the notes.
Also, the market price of your notes prior to the stated maturity date
may be significantly lower than the purchase price you pay for your notes. Consequently, if you sell your notes before the stated maturity
date, you may receive far less than the amount of your investment in the notes.
Your Maximum Payment on the Notes Is Limited
to the Maximum Settlement Amount
Your ability to participate in any change in the value of the underlier
over the term of your notes will be limited because of the cap level. The maximum settlement amount will limit the cash settlement amount
you may receive for each of your notes at maturity, no matter how much the level of the underlier may rise beyond the cap level over the
term of your notes. Accordingly, the amount payable for each of your notes may be significantly less than it would have been had you invested
directly in the underlier.
If You Purchase Your Notes at a Premium to
Face Amount, the Return on Your Investment Will Be Lower Than the Return on Notes Purchased at Face Amount or a Discount and the Impact
of Certain Key Terms of the Notes Will Be Negatively Affected
The cash settlement amount will not be adjusted based on the issue price
you pay for the notes. If you purchase notes at a price that differs from the face amount of the notes, then the return on your investment
in such notes held to the stated maturity date will differ from, and may be substantially less than, the return on notes purchased at
face amount or a discount to face amount. If you purchase your notes at a premium to face amount and hold them to the stated maturity
date, the return on your investment in the notes will be lower than it would have been had you purchased the notes at face amount or a
discount to face amount. In addition, the impact of the buffer level and the cap level on the return on your investment will depend upon
the price you pay for your notes relative to face amount. For example, the buffer level, while still providing some protection for the
return on the notes, will allow a greater percentage decrease in your investment in the notes than would have been the case for notes
purchased at face amount or a discount to face amount. Similarly, if you purchase your notes at a premium to face amount, the cap level
will only permit a lower return on your investment in the notes than would have been the case for notes purchased at face amount or a
discount to face amount.
Any Payment on the Notes Will Be Determined Based
on the Closing Levels of the Underlier on the Dates Specified
Any payment on the notes will be determined based on the closing levels
of the underlier on the dates specified. You will not benefit from any more favorable value of the underlier determined at any other time.
No Interest or Dividend Payments or Voting Rights
or Rights to Receive Any Underlier Stock
As a holder of the notes, you will not receive interest payments. As
a result, even if the amount payable on the stated maturity date exceeds the face amount of your notes, the overall return you earn on
your notes may be less than you would have earned by investing in a non-index-linked debt security of comparable maturity that bears interest
at a prevailing market rate. In addition, as a holder of the notes, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends
or other distributions or other rights that holders of the underlier stocks would have. Furthermore, investing in the notes will not make
you a holder of any of the underlier stocks. Your notes will be paid in cash and you will have no right to receive delivery of any underlier
stocks.
The U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of an
Investment in the Notes Are Uncertain
There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper
U.S. federal income tax treatment of the notes, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS. Consequently, significant aspects
of the tax treatment of the notes are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment of the notes as prepaid forward
contracts, as described above under “Key Terms—Tax consequences.” If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative
treatment for the notes, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the notes could be materially and adversely affected.
In addition, in 2007 the Treasury Department and the IRS released a
notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts”
and similar instruments. Any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and
adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, possibly with retroactive effect. You should review carefully the
sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Consequences
to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as Prepaid Forward or Derivative Contracts” and, if you are a non-U.S. holder, “—Tax
Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders,” and consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in
the notes (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the 2007 notice), as well as tax consequences arising
under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.
Risks Relating to the Issuer
Credit of Issuer
The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the issuer,
Barclays Bank PLC, and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment to be made on the notes,
including any repayment of principal, is subject to the ability of Barclays Bank PLC to satisfy its obligations as they come due and is
not guaranteed by any third party. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC may affect the market value
of the notes and, in the event Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its obligations, you might not receive any amount owed to you under
the terms of the notes.
You May
Lose Some or All of Your Investment If Any U.K. Bail-in Power Is Exercised by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority
Notwithstanding and to the exclusion
of any other term of the notes or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between Barclays Bank PLC and any holder or beneficial
owner of the notes (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the notes), by acquiring the notes, each holder and beneficial owner 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 as set forth under “Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power” in this pricing supplement. Accordingly, any U.K. Bail-in Power
may be exercised in such a manner as to result in you and other holders and beneficial owners of the notes losing all or a part of the
value of your investment in the notes or receiving a different security from the notes, which may be worth significantly less than the
notes and which may have significantly fewer protections than those typically afforded to debt securities. Moreover, the relevant U.K.
resolution authority may exercise the U.K. Bail-in Power without providing any advance notice to, or requiring the consent of, the holders
and beneficial owners of the notes. The exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution
authority with respect to the
notes will not be a default or an Event of Default (as each term is defined in the senior debt securities indenture) and the trustee will
not be liable for any action that the trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in either case, in accordance with the exercise of the U.K.
Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the notes. See “Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power” in
this pricing supplement as well as “U.K. Bail-in Power,” “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Securities Generally—Regulatory
action in the event a bank or investment firm in the Group is failing or likely to fail, including the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution
authority of a variety of statutory resolution powers, could materially adversely affect the value of any securities” and “Risk
Factors—Risks Relating to the Securities Generally—Under the terms of the securities, you have agreed to be bound by the exercise
of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
Risks Relating to the Underlier
Adjustments to the Underlier Could Adversely
Affect the Value of the Notes
The underlier sponsor may add,
delete, substitute or adjust the underlier stocks or make other methodological changes to the underlier that could affect its performance.
The calculation agent will calculate the value to be used as the closing level of the underlier in the event of certain material changes
in or modifications to the underlier. In addition, the underlier sponsor may also discontinue
or suspend calculation or publication of the underlier at any time. Under these circumstances, the calculation agent may select a successor
index that the calculation agent determines to be comparable to the underlier or, if no successor index is available, the calculation
agent will determine the value to be used as the closing level of the underlier. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value
of the underlier and, consequently, the value of the notes. See “Reference Assets—Indices—Adjustments Relating to Securities
with an Index as a Reference Asset” on page S-82 of the accompanying prospectus supplement, as modified by “Supplemental Terms
of the Notes” above.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
We and Our Affiliates, and Any Dealer Participating
in the Distribution of the Notes, May Engage in Various Activities or Make Determinations That Could Materially Affect Your Notes in Various
Ways and Create Conflicts of Interest
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the
issuance of the notes, as described below. In performing these roles, our and our affiliates’ economic interests are potentially
adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes.
In connection with our normal business activities and in connection
with hedging our obligations under the notes, we and our affiliates make markets in and trade various financial instruments or products
for our accounts and for the account of our clients and otherwise provide investment banking and other financial services with respect
to these financial instruments and products. These financial instruments and products may include securities, derivative instruments or
assets that may relate to the underlier or its components. In any such market making, trading and hedging activity, investment banking
and other financial services, we or our affiliates may take positions or take actions that are inconsistent with, or adverse to, the investment
objectives of the holders of the notes. We and our affiliates have no obligation to take the needs of any buyer, seller or holder of the
notes into account in conducting these activities. Such market making, trading and hedging activity, investment banking and other financial
services may negatively impact the value of the notes.
In addition, the role played by Barclays Capital Inc., as the agent
for the notes, could present significant conflicts of interest with the role of Barclays Bank PLC, as issuer of the notes. For example,
Barclays Capital Inc. or its representatives may derive compensation or financial benefit from the distribution of the notes and such
compensation or financial benefit may serve as an incentive to sell the notes instead of other investments. Furthermore, we and our affiliates
establish the offering price of the notes for initial sale to the public, and the offering price is not based upon any independent verification
or valuation.
Furthermore, if any dealer participating in the distribution of the
notes or any of its affiliates conducts hedging activities for us in connection with the notes, that participating dealer or its affiliates
will expect to
realize a projected profit from such hedging activities, and this projected
profit will be in addition to any selling concession that the participating dealer realizes for the sale of the notes to you. This
additional projected profit may create a further incentive for the participating dealer to sell the notes to you.
In addition to the activities described above, we will also act as the
calculation agent for the notes. As calculation agent, we will determine any values of the underlier and make any other determinations
necessary to calculate any payments on the notes. In making these determinations, we may be required to make discretionary judgments,
including determining whether a market disruption event has occurred on any date that the value of the underlier is to be determined;
if the underlier is discontinued or if the sponsor of the underlier fails to publish the underlier, selecting a successor index or, if
no successor index is available, determining any value necessary to calculate any payments on the notes; and calculating the value of
the underlier on any date of determination in the event of certain changes in or modifications to the underlier. In making these discretionary
judgments, our economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes, and any of these determinations
may adversely affect any payments on the notes.
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value of the Notes and the Secondary
Market
Lack of Liquidity
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Barclays Capital
Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC intend to make a secondary market for the notes but are not required to do so, and may
discontinue any such secondary market making at any time, without notice. Barclays Capital Inc. may at any time hold unsold inventory,
which may inhibit the development of a secondary market for the notes. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough
liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the notes,
the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other
affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC are willing to buy the notes. The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly,
you should be willing and able to hold your notes to maturity.
Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact
the Value of Your Notes
In addition to the level of the underlier, the value of the notes will
be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including: the expected volatility
of the underlier; the time to maturity of the notes; the dividend rates on the underlier stocks; interest and yield rates in the market
generally; supply and demand for the notes; a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events; and our creditworthiness,
including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.
The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Lower Than
the Initial Issue Price of Your Notes
The estimated value of your notes on the trade date is lower than the
initial issue price of your notes. The difference between the initial issue price of your notes and the estimated value of the notes is
a result of certain factors, such as any sales commissions to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling
concessions, discounts, commissions or fees to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any
of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the notes, the estimated cost that we may incur in hedging our obligations
under the notes, and estimated development and other costs that we may incur in connection with the notes. These other costs will include
a fee paid to iCapital Markets LLC, an electronic platform in which an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, who is acting as a dealer
in connection with the distribution of the notes, holds an indirect minority equity interest, for services it is providing in connection
with this offering.
The Estimated Value of Your Notes Might Be Lower
If Such Estimated Value Were Based on the Levels at Which Our Debt Securities Trade in the Secondary Market
The estimated value of your notes on the trade date is based on a number
of variables, including our internal funding rates. Our internal funding rates may vary from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities
trade in the secondary market. As a result of this difference, the estimated value referenced
above might be lower if such estimated value were based on the levels
at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market.
The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Based on
Our Internal Pricing Models, Which May Prove to Be Inaccurate and May Be Different from the Pricing Models of Other Financial Institutions
The estimated value of your notes on the trade date is based on our
internal pricing models, which take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which may
or may not materialize. These variables and assumptions are not evaluated or verified on an independent basis. Further, our pricing models
may be different from other financial institutions’ pricing models and the methodologies used by us to estimate the value of the
notes may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of notes in the secondary market.
As a result, the secondary market price of your notes may be materially different from the estimated value of the notes determined by
reference to our internal pricing models.
The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Not a Prediction
of the Prices at Which You May Sell Your Notes in the Secondary Market, If Any, and Such Secondary Market Prices, If Any, Will Likely
Be Lower Than the Initial Issue Price of Your Notes and May Be Lower Than the Estimated Value of Your Notes
The estimated value of the notes will not be a prediction of the prices
at which Barclays Capital Inc., other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the notes from you in secondary market
transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not obligated to do). The price at which you may be able to sell your notes
in the secondary market at any time will be influenced by many factors that cannot be predicted, such as market conditions (described
above under “Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of Your Notes”), and any bid and ask spread for similar
sized trades, and may be substantially less than our estimated value of the notes. Further, as secondary market prices of your notes take
into account the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market, and do not take into account our various costs related
to the notes such as fees, commissions, discounts, and the costs of hedging our obligations under the notes, secondary market prices of
your notes will likely be lower than the initial issue price of your notes. As a result, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc., other
affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the notes from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely
be lower than the price you paid for your notes, and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you.
The Temporary Price at Which We May Initially
Buy the Notes in the Secondary Market and the Value We May Initially Use for Customer Account Statements, If We Provide Any Customer Account
Statements at All, May Not Be Indicative of Future Prices of Your Notes
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the trade date,
the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the notes in the secondary market (if Barclays Capital Inc. makes a
market in the notes, which it is not obligated to do) and the value that we may initially use for customer account statements, if we provide
any customer account statements at all, may exceed our estimated value of the notes on the trade date, as well as the secondary market
value of the notes, for a temporary period after the initial issue date of the notes. The price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially
buy or sell the notes in the secondary market and the value that we may initially use for customer account statements may not be indicative
of future prices of your notes.
The Underlier
The underlier consists of stocks of 500 companies selected to provide
a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. For more information about the underlier, see “Indices—The S&P U.S.
Indices” in the accompanying underlying supplement.
In addition, information about the underlier may be obtained from other
sources, including, but not limited to, the underlier sponsor’s website (including information regarding the underlier’s sector
weightings). We are not incorporating by reference into this pricing supplement the website or any material it includes. Neither we nor
any agent or dealer for this offering makes any representation that this publicly available information regarding the underlier is accurate
or complete.
Historical Closing Levels of the Underlier
You should not take the historical levels of the underlier as an
indication of the future performance of the underlier. The closing level of the underlier has fluctuated in the past and may, in the
future, experience significant fluctuations. Any historical upward or downward trend in the closing level of the underlier during any
period shown below is not an indication that the underlier is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the term
of your notes. We cannot give you any assurance that the future performance of the underlier or the underlier stocks will not result in
a loss on your initial investment on the stated maturity date.
Neither we nor any of our affiliates make any representation to you
as to the performance of the underlier. The actual performance of the underlier over the term of the notes, as well as the cash settlement
amount, may bear little relation to the historical levels shown below.
The following graph sets forth the historical performance of the underlier
based on the daily closing levels from January 2, 2019 through July 5, 2024. The closing level of the underlier on July 5, 2024 was 5,567.19.
The dotted line indicates the buffer level of 80.00% of the initial underlier level.
VALIDITY OF THE NOTES
In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special United States
products counsel to Barclays Bank PLC, when the notes offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by Barclays Bank
PLC and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture, and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such notes will
be valid and binding obligations of Barclays Bank PLC, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency
and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability
(including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith) and possible judicial or regulatory actions
or application giving effect to governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights, provided that such counsel expresses
no opinion as to the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed
above. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York. Insofar as this opinion involves
matters governed by English law, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP has relied, with Barclays Bank PLC’s permission, on the opinion of
Davis Polk & Wardwell London LLP, dated as of July 14, 2023, filed as an exhibit to a report on Form 6-K by Barclays Bank PLC on July
14, 2023, and this opinion is subject to the same assumptions, qualifications and limitations as set forth in such opinion of Davis Polk
& Wardwell London LLP. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution
and delivery of the indenture and its authentication of the notes and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the indenture
with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, dated July 14, 2023, which has been filed
as an exhibit to the report on Form 6-K referred to above.
