To protect you from fraud when you are shopping online, you may sometimes have to confirm your identity when purchasing an item online or via our app.

You could either be sent a short code when you are making a payment, by text/SMS or email, which you will need to enter to complete the purchase, or use your mobile banking app to confirm that you are the cardholder.

It is important that you keep your mobile phone number and contact details up to date with your bank or card provider. This will ensure that you will be able to make that online purchase if your bank or card provider wants to check that it is you using the card to make the payment.  

If you cannot complete a purchase using your card to shop on our website or in our app then please contact your card issuer for assistance.

I've used the wrong credit card for my order - can I change the payment method?
