Using your contactless card

Itā€™s quick and easy with contactless

  • Pay up to Ā£100 by holding your card against a reader if your card is contactless. Thereā€™s no need to enter your PIN.
  • Your contactless cards still have the same anti fraud protection as chip and PIN.
  • Change your contactless limit to anything between Ā£30 and Ā£95.

Sometimes youā€™ll need to enter your PIN when using your contactless card, especially if youā€™ve used it a few times in one day. This helps us make sure itā€™s you making the payment.
