A debit card is a payment card that allows you to make transactions online and in shops for any number of goods and services, and takes payment directly from your bank account. Millions of people use debit cards, and you get one with most Lloyds Bank International current accounts.
With a debit card, you can:
Many debit cards are now contactless, which makes paying for everyday things even easier.
Contactless cards allow you to pay for goods up to £100 without needing to enter your PIN. Many shops, restaurants, and businesses have contactless reader devices which make transactions faster and smoother. Millions of people use contactless debit cards.
Most contactless payments will appear in the main section of your online statement within a few days. However, some transactions may show first in the ‘View pending transactions’ section.
Please note: Not all Contactless Card transactions appear immediately on your Online & Mobile Banking statements. If you can’t see a transaction please wait a few days for it to be added to your statement.
Contactless is a way of making paying for things swifter and simpler. If you have a contactless card and are paying for something in a shop, restaurant, or business that has a contactless reader, all you need to do is hold your contactless card over the reader to pay. If the price is under the threshold which is currently £100, you don’t need to even enter your PIN.
The first time you use your contactless card for a transaction, you’ll need to enter your PIN. Once you've done that, all future transactions under threshold can be contactless. You need to hold your card very close to the reader (around 2 – 4 centimeters) for it to work. If the price of the transaction is over £100, you will need to key in your PIN as normal.
For added security, every now and again you might be asked to enter your PIN for transactions under the threshold. This is likely to happen if you make several contactless transactions in a row.
How to use contactless:
All contactless cards have the contactless symbol on them. The symbol is four curved lines radiating rightwards (a lot like a Wi-Fi symbol turned on its side). It looks like this:
If you have this symbol on the front of your debit card, you can start using the contactless method as described above
Yes, whether you have an Apple or Android device you’ll be able to register your Lloyds Bank International cards with Apple Pay or Google Pay respectively. Some device and card restrictions may apply.
Apple Pay and Google Pay are convenient ways to pay with your Lloyds Bank International debit or credit card. Using the latest contactless technology, it's a simple, secure way to make everyday payments with your mobile device.
Your card details won’t be stored on your device or sent to merchants, so your information stays private and secure.
