How to use it

1. Look

Look for the contactless logo when you’re paying for up to £30 worth of goods or services.

2. Touch

When paying, just touch your card against the reader.

3. Wait

A beep or green light means your payment’s going through. For extra security, you might occasionally have to insert your card and enter your 4-digit PIN, or sign.

4. Done

Ok that's it. Your payment's been approved.

Before you can use the contactless feature you’ll need to activate it on an ATM or by making a Chip and PIN or Chip and Signature transaction.

In a nutshell:

  • Fast, easy and secure method of payment.
  • The most you can spend in each transaction is £30.
  • For extra security, you might occasionally be asked to enter your 4-digit PIN, or sign.
