A quick way to pay for items that are £15 or under

Contactless payments are hassle-free, with no need to withdraw or use cash. Since all payments you make appear on your statement, you will be able to keep track of them.

Easy to use

To enjoy the convenience of contactless payments, look for the wave symbol to see if the retailer accepts them and then:

1. Make your selection.

2. Hold your card close to the     contactless reader to pay.

3. The reader lights up and beeps to     confirm that your payment has     been processed. If you'd like a     receipt, just ask for one.

More widely accepted

You can use contactless payments wherever you see the wave symbol. There are already over 50,000 retailers nationwide that offer contactless payments. They include places like EAT, Yo Sushi!, Prêt a Manger, Krispy Kreme and Little Chef, and more are coming.

As secure as chip and PIN, with the same fraud protection

As an additional security measure, we may occasionally ask you to enter your PIN, just to make sure your card has not fallen into the wrong hands.

If your contactless card is misused without your knowledge, you may not be liable as you're protected from fraud.
