So I’m new opened virtual account topped up and ordered new physical card which has arrived. Do I receive a PIN in the post to activate the account? Like normal credit/debit cards?
Thanks
Regards Lucinda
No. You already set up a pin code in the app when ordering the new card
Oh I see so it mentions using card for 1st purchase? Do I need to?
Yes. You need to make a chip and PIN (preferably a small withdrawal) using the card to fully activate it.
Thanks so much so a bank withdrawal of say £10?
Yes. Or even less (idk what’s the minimum in UK).
Or try a POS payment using chip+PIN (but some people reported failure on this sometimes if they didn’t used an ATM).
I’ll try at ATM first and if not a shop. Thanks
