Do I need to activate contactless card?
Do I need to activate contactless card? To activate this feature, first use the card in a standard chip-card terminal. Insert it as you would when using your chip. This will turn on the contactless payment function. If you don't see the symbol, your contactless-enabled card can still be used by inserting your chip card or swiping at checkout.
Can you use a contactless card at an ATM?
Yes. You can use your contactless card to withdraw cash, check your balance and more. Your experience at the ATM will remain the same; insert your card like you do today and follow the prompts on the ATM.
What are the disadvantages of contactless payment?
Because contactless payments require neither PIN nor signature authorisation, lost or stolen contactless cards can be used to make fraudulent transactions.
Can I still use contactless if my PIN is locked?
If your PIN is locked, contactless will only work for a certain number of transactions. To get it working again, you'll need to unlock your PIN and then make a payment using your card with the PIN.
