Contactless payments

When you make contactless payments, you are protected from fraud just like you are with chip and PIN purchases and online purchases.

As long as you haven’t been negligent (for example, by letting someone else use your card), you're not liable for any fraud on your account. 

If you suspect there’s been fraud on your account, that someone else might know your personal details, or your card is lost or stolen, contact us immediately.
