Your EasyFX card can be used for the following transaction types:

Chip and Pin - Insert the card into the reader and then enter your 4 digit pin number when prompted;

Online - Purchases made through the internet;

Mag Stripe - When your card is swiped through the card reader or the 16 digit card number is entered manually;

Contactless - If your card has the symbol on it, you can pay for items by simply holding your card up to any reader with this symbol displayed.

Your card does not support signature verification.

Note: Your first card transaction must be performed using a chip and pin terminal.

You have complete control over how you use your card, thanks to the card settings. You will find these with your card details under "cards", on the web app and "Cards", "Currency Cards" on the mobile app. Chip and Pin is always available, but other settings are configurable as follows:

Contactless - This setting is enabled by default and can be disabled from the card security settings at any time. You will be prompted by the Point-of-Sale machine to use chip and pin with contactless enabled under the following circumstances:

1. After 5 contactless transactions or after spending €150* (or equivalent in other currencies)
2. For any transaction of greater than €50* (or equivalent in other currencies)

This action will reset the contactless counter so you may continue to make contactless transactions.

*Value is subject to change

Mag Stripe - This setting is off by default and can be enabled through the card settings. Choose the country you wish to transact in and enter an end date (up to a maximum of two weeks). When the end date is reached the setting will automatically turn off but can be enabled again by following the same steps as before. To minimise risk, only one country can be enabled at a time;

Online - This mode is ON by default. Online payments are protected by 3D Secure authentication.

We recommend only enabling these card settings when needed, to minimise any risk to your card becoming compromised.
