Debit card
You can use your debit card online now. To get contactless payments working, you need to pay for something using chip and PIN (personal identification number), or to use a cash machine.
For details on how to change or unlock your PIN, please read our banking at the cash machine guide.
Forgotten your PIN?
You can view it in our Mobile Banking app. Go to ‘More’, click ‘Cards’, then ‘View PIN’.
