Biometric data, like a fingerprint, face recognition or a PIN means no one can pay on your device without your authorisation.

Lost or stolen Card?

 

If your device has been set up to take mobile payments, you don't need to wait for a new Card to arrive. We simply update your mobile wallet, so you can start using mobile payments again right away.

 

You can freeze (up to 7 days) or unfreeze your Card through our mobile app to limit purchases if it is misplaced, without closing your Account completely.

 

 

 

 

Lost or stolen device? 

 

If your mobile device is lost or gets stolen, we'll set up payments from your Account on another phone or tablet. For added safety, your data is never stored on the device, plus Apple, Samsung and Android devices can be wiped remotely to remove all your details. And remember - your biometric details (fingerprint or face recognition) means your device can't be opened without you.
