Update on Barclays eSigning Software (GEMALTO)

Ensure you are using the latest version of Gemalto eSigner software to protect yourself from cyber-threats

Barclays has a new version of the Gemalto e-signing software (version 6.4) which provides the latest protection against cyber-threats and the most reliable and secure experience when using Barclays Digital (online) Channels.

Therefore it is critical that every school using Barclays online upgrades to this latest version of the Barclays eSigner software.
