How the card works

Barclaycard OnePulse has three built-in functions, helping you to save time, money and hassle:

  • It’s an Oyster card
    Use your Barclaycard OnePulse in the same way as a standard Oyster card, for the fastest and easiest way to travel around London. Remember, you’ll need to pre-load the card with pay as you go, Travelcard or a Bus Pass before you travel
  • It’s a Credit card
    Shop with all the value, flexibility and security you’d expect from a Barclaycard credit card
  • It’s a Cashless payment card
    Forget having to find cash for smaller purchases. OneTouch payments allows you to make purchases of £10 and under in an instant wherever you see the ‘wave symbol’.

Auto top-up

Set up Auto top-up from your Barclaycard OnePulse and we’ll automatically top up your Oyster pay as you go balance with £20 or £40 whenever it falls below £5. This means you’ll never have to queue to top up your Oyster pay as you go balance again
