Contactless cards

No PIN. No hanging around. No fuss. 

Contactless

You've probably seen this symbol in shops and other places. It means you can pay for everyday items up to £100 in seconds - quickly and securely. All you need is your contactless Tesco Bank credit card.

You can still pay with chip and PIN – it's up to you.

Your contactless payments are secure

To keep your money safe:

  • If your card is ever used fraudulently, you won’t have to pay. If you spot a suspicious transaction please contact us right away.
  • Before you can use contactless for the first time, you'll need to complete a Chip and PIN transaction. As a security measure, if you make several contactless payments in a row, you may need to use Chip and PIN before you can use contactless again. If you need a PIN reminder, you can view your PIN instantly in our Mobile Banking App.
  • If your Tesco Bank credit card is lost, stolen or charged incorrectly you’re protected. And we’ll monitor your transactions – so if there’s anything suspicious, we’ll get in touch or block your card.

To help keep your account secure you can choose to get a notification each time you spend. It’s easy to set this up in our Mobile App or in Online Banking.
