It’s best to cut your card into pieces, making sure to cut through the chip and magnetic strip and put the card in with your normal waste, rather than your recycling. It will still biodegrade more quickly than any other debit card plastic. If possible, don’t put all the pieces of the card in the same bin or with any related documentation such as receipts or statements.

If mobile verification is not an option, for example you don’t have a mobile phone, or you don’t have any phone reception where you are, you’ll have an alternative option that will allow you to call us on a land line. Our phone lines relating to these calls are open 24/7. We estimate that the majority of transactions will not be affected by this industry-wide change, which is designed to make your online card transactions more secure.
