Like most things Barclays produces, it is unreliable and unfriendly. Works 1 in 3-5 times and often requires a laptop reboot. Barclays is a dinosaur and one that is unwilling to modernise. We are trapped because it would be prohibitively expensive to let all our clients know that we are using a new bank. But one day we will leave and be freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

As mentioned already - use for Barclays, works 1 time 5 on edge, cannot get to work on Chrome for anything close to reliable

tony farndell2022年6月29日

since launch to chrome from win explorer terrible barclays.net login button shows but cannot log ion one pc in office we can even use the help is zero terrible service we should be able to generate login with mobile phone like we do with internet banking

Have to use this for Barclays. Barclays offer the worst service and the most complex log in process. It's 2022 and all other banks can allow your phone to provide a code or send a code to your phone, but not Barclays.

Digital transaction signing and document authentication for Barclays corporate/online banking

Enables cryptographically secure signing of banking transactions, document verification, and authentication for Barclays online banking users using hardware-based security (smart cards with PKCS#11) and PIN codes, protecting against fraud and ensuring transaction integrity

User navigates to a Barclays banking portal → Web Signer content script detects a signing request div → Extension renders the data to be signed (HTML or plaintext) → WYSIWYS verification compares rendered data with backend → User selects a certificate from their smart card → User enters PIN on the extension's PIN pad UI → Extension communicates with native backend (com.gemalto.esignerwe) via native messaging → Backend performs cryptographic signing using the smart card → Signed data is posted back to the banking web application

Target users: Barclays corporate banking customers / Barclays wealth management clients / UK BACS/faster payments users / Barclays treasury and cash management clients

Cannot verify the native backend component (com.gemalto.esignerwe) behavior or its licensing as it's distributed separately
Cannot determine if Barclays provides the extension or requires the native companion app as part of their banking service agreement
The extension's paid status at the enterprise/contract level (between Thales and Barclays) is not visible in the extension source code

Monetization

No paid features detected

No evidence of paid features, subscriptions, billing, or premium tiers within the extension. The extension appears to be a corporate enterprise tool provided by Gemalto/Thales Group to Barclays bank for their corporate banking customers. All 'upgrade' keyword hits were technical code comments (e.g., 'TODO: upgrade INT to 64 bit in backend'). All 'license' hits refer to third-party open-source library licenses (MIT, Apache). No payment platforms (Stripe, PayPal, etc.), no subscription checks, no feature gating, and no upgrade UI were found in the source code.

Confidence: 90
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: Yes
Reason: The extension injects exclusively into Barclays banking domains and related financial services (e.g., *.barclays.com, *.barclays.co.uk, *.barclays.net, europe.tradeonlineservices.com, *.bacs.co.uk, etc.) as defined in manifest.json content_scripts matches. The core workflow—digital signing of banking transactions—requires users to already be authenticated to their Barclays online banking portal. Additionally, the extension requires a physical smart card with certificates and a PIN/credential to perform signing operations (background.js lines 634-642 show 'Login failed, no PIN supplied', 'Incorrect PIN given', 'PIN locked' messages). The 'login' detected by the heuristic refers to smart card PIN authentication rather than a traditional account login, but the user must still authenticate with Barclays banking services to reach the signing workflow.
