The British bank said in its annual report that it had cut the 2022 bonus for Chief Executive C.S. Venkatakrishnan by 403,000 pounds, while Finance Chief Anna Cross saw her compensation docked by 166,000 pounds.

Some long term awards had also been clawed back from former executives, including those earned by ex-finance chief Tushar Morzaria, the bank said.

Barclays said the bonus cuts also reflected a fine from U.S. authorities over the use of unauthorised communication channels by staff, after a wider regulatory crackdown on bankers' use of platforms such as WhatsApp for sharing market-sensitive information.

Venkatakrishnan's total pay package for the year was 5.2 million pounds, which the bank said could rise to a maximum 9.7 million pounds if long-term awards were paid out in full.

The bank said it had made no further decision on clawing back pay or awards to former Chief Executive Jes Staley, who is facing ongoing investigations into how he characterised his relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Staley's unvested awards remain suspended, the bank said.
