05
What happens if I have insufficient funds on my account for a payment to be made?

If you are attempting to pay with your debit card for an amount that exceeds your account balance, the payment request will be automatically declined. In the event a cheque is drawn on your account or a direct debit is claimed and there are insufficient funds, we may return them unpaid and there may be charges incurred. Please refer to the Standard Bank Tariff table for further details of our charges.

06
What is contactless?

Contactless is a new payment function for transactions of up to £30 in the UK (please note that the contactless transaction limits vary in other countries). You can pay for your goods at checkout simply by holding your card in front of a contactless card-reader. All JIB (UK) MasterCard® Debit Cards have contactless technology and you can use the contactless method of paying.

07
Where can you use contactless?

Retailers who accept contactless payments will display the contactless symbol, so look out for it wherever you shop. Over 120,000 card readers in the UK already accept contactless payments and this number is growing all the time. You can also now use your contactless card to pay for journeys on TfL buses, London Underground, London trams, Docklands Light Railway, London Overground and national rail services. You simply need to touch your card on the yellow reader as you board your chosen method of transport - there is no need to buy a physical ticket or key in a PIN.

08
How does a contactless card work?

If you 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 £30 (the contactless transaction limit currently applicable in the UK), 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 can be contactless. You need to hold your card very close to the reader (around 2 – 4 centimetres) for it to work. If the price of the transaction is over £30, 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 £30. This is likely to happen if you make several contactless transactions in a row.

Staying secure

01
What must I do to protect my debit card and PIN?

You must keep your Card, PIN and any other security details safe and not let anyone else use them.

We will never ask you for your PIN and you should never reveal it to anyone. If you write down your PIN number, you should keep it in a suitably safe place and separate from your Card.

You can change your PIN to something more memorable at most MasterCard® compatible ATMs within Europe by following the onscreen instructions, subject to the relevant ATM provider offering this service.

For security reasons, your Card PIN may be disabled by us if you enter your PIN incorrectly.

02
Can a purchase be made without my knowledge (for example, will the card-reader activate if I walk past it)?

No. Your card has to be extremely close to the reader - typically between two and four centimetres - and the retailer must have first entered the amount for you to approve.

03
I do not recognise/did not authorise a transaction – what must I do?

You must tell us immediately if you notice transactions that you do not recognise or that you know were unauthorised.

We recommend that you check the balance and transactions on your Account regularly. You can do this via online banking and by checking your bank statements.

04
Is using contactless to pay secure?

Your contactless card has the same anti-fraud protection as regular 'Chip & PIN' cards. If your card is lost or stolen, your card has protection against fraudulent use loss, provided that you inform us as soon as you realise your card is missing. For added protection, you will occasionally be asked to enter your PIN when making a payment and your PIN will always be needed for payments of over £30.
