As an added security measure, your card needs to be activated before it can be used for online and contactless payments.

You can activate your physical card in two ways:

  1. Enter your card PIN when making your first payment at a point-of-sale terminal.

  2. Enter your card’s identifier in your banking app.

  6. Consent to the card activation on your mobile device.
