[424B2] BARCLAYS BANK PLC Prospectus Supplement
Barclays Bank PLC is offering structured Notes due May 24, 2029, linked to the performance of the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM), Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ), and State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY). These Notes offer a contingent coupon of $21.00 per $1,000 on observation dates if each underlier closes at or above its coupon barrier, with potential for early automatic redemption. Investors face principal loss risk tied to the least performing underlier and are exposed to Barclays' credit risk and U.K. bail-in powers.
