I dont think there is one, its opened based on information found on your credit file when the application is completed.

The link gives you information on their accounts, Standard and Premier.
Good luck

For the Blue Rewards scheme you need to pay in a total of £800 a month. This can be £200 a week. I would say therefore your minimum income is whatever is sufficient to make that payment.Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.0

Though you don't have to sign up to Blue Rewards it should be said.
And for Blue Rewards to actually get the loyalty bonus you need 2 DDr's a month set to leave the account, the £800 is to qualify you for BR in the first place0 -
There is no minimum income or minimum opening balance required to open a Barclays current account. If the balance stays at zero for several months though the account is deemed dormant and may be closed.: )0
