1. As a Barclays business current account customer, you’ll have free access to FreshBooks’ package developed exclusively for Barclays business current account customers, which is based on the existing FreshBooks £19 package, with some additional features. FreshBooks usually charge for their open-to-market packages. Only Barclays business current account customers who complete the sign-up journey with FreshBooks and agree to FreshBooks’ terms and conditions will receive the FreshBooks service for free, for as long as they continue to be eligible Barclays business current account customers. If you close all your business current accounts, this means your free use of the FreshBooks service will end too. If we end our partnership with FreshBooks, you won’t get the FreshBooks service for free anymore. We will let you know if that happens. You’ll then need to download all your data and reports to make sure you keep your records safe and secure, so you comply with Making Tax Digital requirements. You can also choose to upgrade to a paid package at your own cost. If you decide to upgrade from the free FreshBooks service with FreshBooks to another FreshBooks plan and pay the full price to FreshBooks, Barclays Bank PLC may receive commission from FreshBooks for this.
