**Additional Terms Specific to the Notes**

You should read this pricing supplement together with the prospectus dated May 15, 2025, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated May 15, 2025 relating to our Global Medium-Term Notes, Series A, of which these Notes are a part, and the underlying supplement dated May 15, 2025. 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 "Selected Risk Considerations" in 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):

**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 or 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, or interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the Notes; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or 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 of 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 the 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 "Selected Risk Considerations—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.

**What Is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity, Assuming a Range of Performances for the Underlier?**

The following table and examples illustrate the hypothetical payment at maturity and the hypothetical total return on the Notes. The "total return" as used in this pricing supplement is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount Note to $1,000. The table and examples set forth below assume a hypothetical Initial Underlier Value of $100.00, a hypothetical Maximum Return of 12.55% and the Final Underlier Values set forth below. The actual Initial Underlier Value and Maximum Return will be determined on the Pricing Date, and the actual Final Underlier Value will be the Closing Price of the Underlier on the Final Valuation Date. The hypothetical Initial Underlier Value of $100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual Initial Underlier Value. For historical Closing Prices of the Underlier, see the historical information set forth under the section titled "The SPDR<sup>®</sup> Gold Trust" below. Each hypothetical payment at maturity or total return set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual payment at maturity or total return applicable to a purchaser of the Notes. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis. The table and examples below do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the Notes.

**Hypothetical Examples of Amount Payable at Maturity**

The following examples illustrate how the payment at maturity and total return in different hypothetical scenarios are calculated.

**Example 1: The value of the Underlier increases from the Initial Underlier Value of $100.00 to a Final Underlier Value of $160.00, resulting in an Underlier Return of 60.00%.**

Because the Underlier Return of 60.00% is positive and exceeds the Maximum Return of 12.55%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,125.50 per $1,000 principal amount Note, which is the maximum payment on the Notes.

The total return on the Notes is 12.55%, which is the Maximum Return.

**Example 2: The value of the Underlier increases from the Initial Underlier Value of $100.00 to a Final Underlier Value of $110.00, resulting in an Underlier Return of 10.00%.**

Because the Underlier Return of 10.00% is positive and does not exceed the Maximum Return of 12.55%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,100.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × Underlier Return)

$1,000 + ($1,000 × 10.00%) = $1,100.00

The total return on the Notes is 10.00%.

**Example 3: The value of the Underlier decreases from the Initial Underlier Value of $100.00 to a Final Underlier Value of $97.50, resulting in an Underlier Return of -2.50%.**

Because the Underlier Return of -2.50% is negative but is greater than -5.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $975.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × Underlier Return)

$1,000 + ($1,000 × -2.50%) = $975.00

The total return on the Notes is -2.50%.

**Example 4: The value of the Underlier decreases from the Initial Underlier Value of $100.00 to a Final Underlier Value of $50.00, resulting in an Underlier Return of -50.00%.** 

Because the Underlier Return of -50.00% is negative and is less than -5.00%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $950.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note, which is the Minimum Payment at Maturity.

The total return on the Notes is -5.00%, which reflects the Minimum Payment at Maturity.

**Selected Purchase Considerations**

The Notes are not appropriate for all investors. The Notes may be an appropriate investment for you if all of the following statements are true:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You do not seek an investment that produces periodic interest or coupon payments or other sources of current income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You anticipate that the Underlier Return will be positive, and you are willing and able to accept the risk that, if the Underlier
Return is negative, you will lose up to 5.00% of the principal amount of your Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You understand and accept that any potential return on the Notes is limited by the Maximum Return.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You are willing and able to accept the risks associated with an investment linked to the performance of the Underlier, as explained
in more detail in the "Selected Risk Considerations" section of this pricing supplement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You understand and accept that you will not have any rights with respect to the Underlier or the commodity held by the Underlier.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You do not seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market and you are willing and able to hold the Notes to
maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You are willing and able to assume our credit risk for all payments on the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You are willing and able to consent to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by any relevant U.K. resolution authority.

The Notes *may <u>not</u>* be an appropriate investment for you if any of the following statements are true:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You seek an investment that produces periodic interest or coupon payments or other sources of current income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You seek an investment that provides for the full repayment of principal at maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You anticipate that the Underlier Return will be negative, or you are unwilling or unable to accept the risk that, if it is, you will
lose up to 5.00% of the principal amount of your Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You seek an investment with uncapped exposure to any positive performance of the Underlier.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You are unwilling or unable to accept the risks associated with an investment linked to the performance of the Underlier, as explained
in more detail in the "Selected Risk Considerations" section of this pricing supplement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You seek an investment that entitles you to rights related to the Underlier or the commodity held by the Underlier.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market and/or you are unwilling or unable to hold the Notes to
maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You are unwilling or unable to assume our credit risk for all payments on the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You are unwilling or unable to consent to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by any relevant U.K. resolution authority.

***You must rely on your own evaluation of the merits of an investment in the Notes*.** You should reach a decision whether to invest in the Notes after carefully considering, with your advisors, the appropriateness of the Notes in light of your investment objectives and the specific information set forth in this pricing supplement, the prospectus, the prospectus supplement and the underlying supplement. Neither the Issuer nor Barclays Capital Inc. makes any recommendation as to the appropriateness of the Notes for investment.

**Tax Consequences** 

There is uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes due to the lack of governing authority. 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 Indebtedness for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes" and, if you are a non-U.S. holder, "—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders." The discussion below applies to you only if you are an initial purchaser of the Notes; if you are a secondary purchaser of the Notes, the tax consequences to you may be different. Notwithstanding that the Notes do not provide for the full repayment of their principal amount at or prior to maturity, we intend to treat the Notes as debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP has advised that it believes this treatment to be reasonable. The remainder of this discussion assumes that this treatment is correct.

Based on current market conditions, we intend to treat the Notes as "contingent payment debt instruments" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described under "—Contingent Payment Debt Instruments" in the accompanying prospectus supplement. The remainder of this discussion assumes that this treatment is correct.

Assuming that our treatment of the Notes as contingent payment debt instruments is correct, regardless of your method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you generally will be required to accrue taxable interest income in each year on a constant yield to maturity basis at the "comparable yield," as determined by us, even though we will not be required to make any payment with respect to the Notes prior to maturity. Upon a sale or exchange (including redemption at maturity), you generally will recognize taxable income or loss equal to the difference between the amount received from the sale or exchange and your adjusted tax basis in the Notes. You generally must treat any income as interest income and any loss as ordinary loss to the extent of previous interest inclusions, and the balance as capital loss. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Special rules may apply if the amount payable at maturity is treated as becoming fixed prior to maturity. You should consult your tax advisor concerning the application of these rules.

Because our intended treatment of the Notes as CPDIs is based on current market conditions, we may determine an alternative treatment is more appropriate based on circumstances at the time of pricing. Our ultimate determination will be binding on you, unless you properly disclose to the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") an alternative treatment. Also, the IRS may challenge the treatment of the Notes as CPDIs. If we determine not to treat the Notes as CPDIs, or if the IRS successfully challenges the treatment of the Notes as CPDIs, then the Notes should be treated as debt instruments that are not CPDIs and, unless treated as issued with less than a specified de minimis amount of original issue discount, could (depending on the facts at the time of pricing) require the accrual of original issue discount as ordinary interest income based on a yield to maturity different from (and possibly higher than) the comparable yield. Accordingly, under this treatment, your annual taxable income from (and adjusted tax basis in) the Notes could be higher or lower than if the Notes were treated as CPDIs, and any loss recognized upon a disposition of the Notes (including upon maturity) might be capital loss, the deductibility of which is subject to limitations. Accordingly, this alternative treatment could result in adverse tax consequences to you.

The discussions herein and in the accompanying prospectus supplement do not address the consequences to taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b).

You should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Non-U.S. Holders. We do not believe that non-U.S. holders should be required to provide a Form W-8 in order to avoid 30% U.S. withholding tax with respect to the excess (if any) of the payment at maturity over the face amount of the Notes, although the IRS could challenge this position. However, non-U.S. holders should in any event expect to be required to provide appropriate Forms W-8 or other documentation in order to establish an exemption from backup withholding, as described under the heading "—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding" in the accompanying prospectus supplement. If any withholding is required, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld.

**Comparable Yield and Projected Payment Schedule** 

We will provide the "comparable yield" and "projected payment schedule" for the Notes in the final pricing supplement. The projected payment schedule for a Note will consist of a single projected amount due at maturity.

In the final pricing supplement, the following table will state the amount of taxable interest income (without taking into account any adjustment to reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and the projected amount of the contingent payment on a Note) that will be deemed to have accrued with respect to a Note for each accrual period based upon the comparable yield and projected payment schedule.

**Neither the comparable yield nor the projected payment schedule constitutes a representation by us regarding the actual cash settlement amount that we will pay on the Notes.**

**Selected Risk Considerations**

An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Underlier or its Underlying Commodity (as defined under "The SPDR<sup>®</sup> Gold Trust" below). 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**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **You May Lose Up to 5.00% of the Principal Amount of Your Notes —** The Notes differ from ordinary debt securities in that
the Issuer will not necessarily pay the full principal amount at maturity. If the Underlier Return is negative, you will lose 1% of the
principal amount of your Notes for every 1% that the Final Underlier Value is less than the Initial Underlier Value, subject to the Minimum
Payment at Maturity of $950.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note. Therefore, you may lose up to 5.00% of the principal amount of your Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Your Maximum Gain on the Notes Is Limited to the Maximum Return —** Any positive return on your Notes will not exceed a
predetermined percentage of the principal amount, regardless of the appreciation in the value of the Underlier, which may be significant.
We refer to this percentage as the Maximum Return, which is equal to at least 12.55%. The actual Maximum Return will be determined on
the Pricing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **No Interest Payments** — As a holder of the Notes, you will not receive interest payments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Any Payment on the Notes Will Be Determined Based on the Closing Price of the Underlier on the Dates Specified —** Any
payment on the Notes will be determined based on the Closing Price of the Underlier on the dates specified. You will not benefit from
any more favorable value of the Underlier determined at any other time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Contingent Repayment of Principal Applies Only at Maturity** — You should be willing to hold your Notes to maturity. If
you sell your Notes prior to maturity in the secondary market, if any, you may have to sell your Notes at a loss relative to your initial
investment even if at that time the value of the Underlier has increased from the Initial Underlier Value. See "—Risks Relating
to the Estimated Value of the Notes and the Secondary Market—Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes"
below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Owning the Notes Is Not the Same as Owning the Underlier or the Commodity Held by the Underlie** r — The return on your
Notes may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the Underlier or the commodity held by the Underlier. For instance,
as a holder of the Notes, you will not have any rights that holders of the Underlier or owners of the commodities held by the Underlier
would have.

**Risks Relating to the Issuer**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **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 or 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**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **The Performance and Market Value of the Underlier, Particularly during Periods of Market Volatility, May Not Correlate with the Performance of Its Underlying Commodity as Well as Its Net Asset Value Per Share** —The Underlier does not fully replicate
the performance of its Underlying Commodity due to the fees and expenses charged by the Underlier or by restrictions on access to the
Underlying Commodity due to other circumstances. The Underlier does not generate any income, and as the Underlier regularly sells its
Underlying Commodity to pay for ongoing expenses, the amount of its Underlying Commodity represented by each share gradually declines
over time. The Underlier sells its Underlying Commodity to pay expenses on an ongoing basis irrespective of whether the trading price
of the shares rises or falls in response to changes in the price of its Underlying Commodity. The sale by the Underlier of its Underlying
Commodity to pay expenses at a time of low prices for its Underlying Commodity could adversely affect the value of the Notes. Additionally,
there is a risk that part or all of the Underlier's holdings in its Underlying Commodity could be lost, damaged or stolen. Access
to the Underlier's Underlying Commodity could also be restricted by natural events (such as an earthquake) or human actions (such
as a terrorist attack). All of these factors may lead to a lack of correlation between the performance of the Underlier and its Underlying
Commodity. In addition, because the shares of the Underlier are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply and investor
demand, the market value of one share of the Underlier may differ from the net asset value per share of the Underlier.

During periods of market volatility, the Underlying Commodity may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants may be unable to calculate accurately the net asset value per share of the Underlier and the liquidity of the Underlier may be adversely affected. This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares of the Underlier. Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to buy and sell shares of the Underlier. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value of shares of the Underlier may vary substantially from the net asset value per share of the Underlier. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Underlier may not correlate with the performance of its Underlying Commodity as well as the net asset value per share of the Underlier, which could materially and adversely affect the value of the Notes in the secondary market and/or reduce any payment on the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **There Are Risks Associated with Commodities Trading on the London Bullion Market Association** — The investment objective
of the Underlier is to reflect the performance of the price of gold bullion, less the Underlier's expenses. The price of gold is
determined by the London Bullion Market Association (the "LBMA") or an independent service provider appointed by the LBMA.
The LBMA is a self-regulatory association of bullion market participants. Although all market-making members of the LBMA are supervised
by the Bank of England and are required to satisfy a capital adequacy test, the LBMA itself is not a regulated entity. If the LBMA should
cease operations, or if bullion trading should become subject to a value added tax or other tax or any other form of regulation currently
not in place, the role of the LBMA gold price as a global benchmark for the value of gold may be adversely affected. The LBMA is a principals'
market, which operates in a manner more closely analogous to an over-the-counter physical commodity market than a regulated futures market,
and certain features of U.S. futures contracts are not present in the context of LBMA trading. For example, there are no daily price limits
on the LBMA that would otherwise restrict fluctuations in the prices of LBMA contracts. In a declining market, it is possible that prices
would continue to decline without limitation within a trading day or over a period of trading days. The LBMA may alter, discontinue or
suspend calculation or dissemination of the LBMA gold price, which could adversely affect the value of the Notes. The LBMA, or an independent
service provider appointed by the LBMA, will have no obligation to consider your interests in calculating or revising the LBMA gold price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **The Notes Are Subject to Risks Associated with Gold** — The investment objective of the Underlier is to reflect the performance of the price of gold bullion, less the Underlier's
expenses. The price of gold is primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of gold. The market for gold bullion is global,
and gold prices are subject to volatile price movements over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors, including macroeconomic
factors, such as the structure of and confidence in the global monetary system, expectations regarding the future rate of inflation,
the relative strength of, and confidence in, the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is usually quoted), interest rates,
gold borrowing and lending rates and global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. Gold prices
may be affected by industry factors, such as industrial and jewelry demand as well as lending, sales and purchases of gold by the official
sector, including central banks and other governmental agencies and multilateral institutions that hold gold. Additionally, gold prices
may be affected by levels of gold production, production costs and short-term changes in supply and demand due to trading activities
in the gold market. From time to time, above-ground inventories of gold may also influence the market. It is not possible to predict
the aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors. The price of gold has recently been, and may continue to be, extremely
volatile.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Single Commodity Prices Tend to Be More Volatile Than, and May Not Correlate with, the Prices of Commodities Generally** —
The Underlier provides exposure to a single commodity and not to a diverse basket of commodities. The Underlying Commodity may not correlate
to the price of commodities generally and may diverge significantly from the

prices of commodities generally. As a result, the Notes carry greater risk and may be more volatile than securities linked to the prices of a broader or more diverse basket of commodities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Anti-dilution Protection Is Limited, and the Calculation Agent Has Discretion to Make Anti-dilution Adjustments** —The Calculation Agent may in its sole discretion make adjustments affecting the amounts payable on the Notes upon
the occurrence of certain events that the Calculation Agent determines have a diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value
of the shares of the Underlier. However, the Calculation Agent might not make such adjustments in response to all events that could affect
the shares of the Underlier. The occurrence of any such event and any adjustment made by the Calculation Agent (or a determination by
the Calculation Agent not to make any adjustment) may adversely affect the market price of, and any amounts payable on, the Notes. See "Reference Assets—Exchange-Traded Funds—Adjustments Relating to Securities with an Exchange-Traded Fund as a
Reference Asset—Anti-dilution Adjustments" in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **We May Accelerate the Notes If a Change-in-Law Event Occurs** — Upon the occurrence of legal or regulatory changes that
may, among other things, prohibit or otherwise materially restrict persons from holding the Notes or the Underlier or its components,
or engaging in transactions in them, the Calculation Agent may determine that a change-in-law event has occurred and accelerate the Maturity
Date for a payment determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. Any amount payable upon acceleration could be significantly
less than any amount that would be due on the Notes if they were not accelerated. However, if the Calculation Agent elects not to accelerate
the Notes, the value of, and any amount payable on, the Notes could be adversely affected, perhaps significantly, by the occurrence of
those legal or regulatory changes. See "Terms of the Notes—Change-in-Law Events" in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **We May Accelerate the Notes If a Commodity Hedging Disruption Event Occurs** — Upon the occurrence of legal or regulatory
changes that the Calculation Agent determines have interfered with our or our affiliates' ability to hedge our obligations under
the Notes, or if for any other reason we or our affiliates are unable to enter into or maintain hedge positions that the Calculation Agent
deems necessary to hedge our obligations under the Notes, or to realize the proceeds of any such hedge position, the Calculation Agent
may determine that a commodity hedging disruption event has occurred and accelerate the maturity date for a payment determined by the
Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. Any amount payable upon acceleration could be significantly less than any amount that would
be due on the Notes if they were not accelerated. However, if the Calculation Agent elects not to accelerate the Notes, the value of,
and any amount payable on, the Notes could be adversely affected, perhaps significantly by the occurrence of such a commodity hedging
disruption event. See "Terms of the Notes—Commodity Hedging Disruption Events" in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

**Risks Relating to** **Conflicts of Interest**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **We and Our Affiliates 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.

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 those described in the accompanying prospectus supplement and under "—Risks Relating to the Underlier" above. 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**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **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 able and willing
to hold your Notes to maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes** — In addition to the value of the Underlier on any
day, 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o the expected volatility of the Underlier;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o the time to maturity of the Notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o interest and yield rates in the market generally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o supply and demand for the Notes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Expected to Be Lower Than the Initial Issue Price of Your Notes** — The estimated
value of your Notes on the Pricing Date is expected to be lower, and may be significantly 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 expected as a result of certain
factors, such as any sales commissions expected to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions,
discounts, commissions or fees expected 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **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 Pricing 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 values referenced above might be lower if such estimated values were based on the
levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **The Estimated Value of the 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 Pricing 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **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, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **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 Pricing 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 Pricing 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 SPDR<sup>®</sup> Gold Trust**

According to publicly available information, the Underlier is an investment trust sponsored by World Gold Trust Services, LLC, whose investment objective is for its shares to reflect the performance of the price of gold bullion (the "Underlying Commodity"), less the Underlier's expenses. The Underlier holds gold bars and from time to time issues blocks of shares in exchange for deposits of gold and distributes gold in connection with the redemption of blocks of shares. For more information about the Underlier, see "Exchange-Traded Funds—The SPDR<sup>®</sup> Gold Trust" in the accompanying underlying supplement.

**Historical Information**

The graph below sets forth the historical performance of the Underlier from January 2, 2020 to July 29, 2025, based on the daily Closing Prices of the Underlier. The Closing Price of the Underlier on July 29, 2025 was $306.25.

We obtained the Closing Prices of the Underlier from Bloomberg Professional<sup>®</sup> service, without independent verification. Historical performance of the Underlier should not be taken as an indication of future performance. Future performance of the Underlier may differ significantly from historical performance, and no assurance can be given as to the Closing Price of the Underlier during the term of the Notes, including on the Final Valuation Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Underlier will not result in a loss on your initial investment. *The Closing Prices below may have been adjusted to reflect certain actions, such as stock splits and reverse stock splits*.

***PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.***

**Certain Employee Retirement Income Security Act Considerations**

Your purchase of a Note in an Individual Retirement Account (an "IRA") will be deemed to be a representation and warranty by you, as a fiduciary of the IRA and also on behalf of the IRA, that (i) neither the Issuer, the placement agent nor any of their respective affiliates has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or acts in a fiduciary capacity with respect to the IRA assets used to purchase the Note or renders investment advice (within the meaning of Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA")) with respect to any such IRA assets and (ii) in connection with the purchase of the Note, the IRA will pay no more than "adequate consideration" (within the meaning of Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA) and in connection with any redemption of the Note pursuant to its terms will receive at least adequate consideration, and, in making the foregoing representations and warranties, you have (x) applied sound business principles in determining whether fair market value will be paid, and (y) made such determination acting in good faith.

**Additional Information Regarding Our Estimated Value of the Notes**

The final terms for the Notes will be determined on the date the Notes are initially priced for sale to the public (the "Pricing Date") based on prevailing market conditions on or prior to the Pricing Date, and will be communicated to investors either orally or in a final pricing supplement.

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 Pricing 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 Pricing Date is expected to be 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 is expected to result from several factors, including any sales commissions expected to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected 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.

Our estimated value on the Pricing 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 Pricing 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 Pricing Date for a temporary period expected to be approximately six 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 the "Selected Risk Considerations" beginning on page PS-9 of this pricing supplement.**

**You may revoke your offer to purchase the Notes at any time prior to the Pricing Date. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the Notes prior to their Pricing Date. In the event of any changes to the terms of the Notes, we will notify you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.**

**Supplemental Plan of Distribution** 

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will act as placement agents for the Notes pursuant to separate placement agency agreements with the Issuer. The placement agents will forgo fees for sales to fiduciary accounts. The placement agents will receive a fee from the Issuer or one of its affiliates per Note as specified on the cover of this pricing supplement.
