Changes to Business Debit Card
Changes to Business Debit Card
We are launching a new Business Debit Mastercard in September 2018.
Changes to be aware of if you open a Business Account with us. We will be sending you a new Debit Mastercard for your Business Account by 12th October 2018. Your card will have a brand new design and will replace the one you currently use. Your PIN, terms and conditions, fees and charges will all stay the same.
What’s changing?
Aside from the design, the new card offers you these features (although you don’t have to use them):
- Withdraw up to £700 a day from ATMs*
- Contactless Technology – you won’t need to use your PIN for purchases up to £30 when you’re out and about*
- International Purchase Limit is up to £10,000 a day*
*Subject to available funds
You can also make use of the following features on the new card:
- Pay using your phone – this works with Apple Pay™ and Google Pay™
- Easily pay in money – you can do this at branch counters and Deposit ATMs in selected branches (limits apply)
What happens next?
You should start using your new Business Debit Mastercard as soon as you receive it. We’ll tell you the date your existing card will stop working when we send you the new card.
What do you need to do?
As your 16-digit card number will change, there are a few actions you should take.
- Update recurring and online payments
You’ll need to update your card details for payments you have set up using your existing card, such as subscriptions, PayPal and websites where you’ve saved your card details. Your direct debits and standing orders won’t be affected because they only use your account number and sort code, which will stay the same. - Re-register for Mastercard SecureCode™
This extra layer of security helps you shop safely online and you’ll need to register this new card. You can do this from our dedicated page. - Set up Apple Pay™ and Google Pay™
If you want to use your mobile phone to make purchases, you will need to register your new debit card. - Destroy your old card
Remember to do this as soon as you receive your new one.
