Contactless cards
No PIN. No hanging around. No fuss.
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 debit or credit card.
You can still pay with chip and PIN – it's up to you.
A new contactless limit became available in UK retailers from 15 October 2021. Tesco Bank customers with contactless cards can now use them for payments up to £100 anywhere the limit has been increased. Your contactless limit can’t be changed.
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.
- Sometimes you’ll be asked to insert your card and enter your PIN – just so we can check it’s you.
- If your Tesco Bank debit or 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.
