Merged. Tesco Bank is now part of Barclays Bank UK PLC. Barclays Bank UK PLC bought the retail banking business of Tesco Personal Finance plc, which traded as Tesco Bank, in November 2024: its credit cards, personal loans and deposits. The business still trades under the Tesco Bank name, run by Barclays UK, and both of Tesco Bank's SWIFT codes are now registered to Barclays Bank UK PLC.
