To activate your debit card, simply use it to make a payment or withdraw cash from a cash machine. If you're an existing customer, remember to destroy your old debit card once the replacement is activated.

Make sure to check that your card details are up-to-date for any website that you use reguarly to pay for goods or services. Don't forget about subcriptions and recurring payments.

The security code is a 3-digit number found on the back of your debit card. Often called the CVV or CVC, it adds a second level of authentication when making online or over-the-phone purchases.

Your debit card will expire on the last day of the month / year printed on the front of your card. This is formatted as 'Expires End MM/YY'.

We'll send you a new debit card one in the post at least one week before your current card is due to expire. When you receive your new debit card you should securely destroy your old one.

Yes, you can and it only takes a few minutes to set up.
