No. In accordance with the Central Bank directive and for your own safety, the new NBF Chip & PIN credit cards are mandatory.
NBF has issued you your new Chip & PIN credit card in line with the recent Central Bank Mandate to secure all the credit card transactions. This move is also in keeping with current global best practice.

Your Chip & PIN credit card is embedded with a microchip, which stores all relevant cardholder information and the Personal Identification Number (PIN) in an encrypted format. This PIN is known only by you, the cardholder, meaning your funds are protected against fraud/misuse.

Chip & PIN technology provides an additional layer of safety against counterfeit and card skimming-related fraud.

Your Chip & PIN credit card enhances the security of all your domestic and international transactions, in line with best global practices. It provides an additional level of safety against counterfeit and skimming-related fraud.
Your Chip & PIN card stores your cardholder information and PIN in an encrypted format. You need to enter your secret PIN at a point-of-sale terminal to authenticate and complete any transactions, unlike your previous Chip card which required a signature for authentication.
No. You won’t be charged when you are upgraded to your new Chip & PIN credit card.
When you use your Chip & PIN credit card at a PIN-enabled point-of-sale terminal, you’ll be prompted to enter your 4-digit secret PIN. After entering the correct PIN, your transaction will be approved.
Here is the process you’ll be prompted to follow:
  • Step 1: The merchant inserts your credit card into the card slot at a PIN-enabled point-of-sale terminal and enters the transaction amount.
  • Step 2: The point-of-sale machine will prompt you to enter your 4-digit PIN.
  • Step 3: If the PIN is correct, the transaction will be approved.
At point-of-sale terminals that do not support PIN authentication, your card will be inserted in the Chip slot and you will need to authorise the transaction by signing the card receipt.
Visa payWave is a “contactless” payments solution from Visa. It is a faster way to pay with your credit card for purchases under 400 at participating stores. Instead of swiping or inserting your card at the checkout, simply wave or tap your card on the contactless terminal. Contactless cards are perfect for small purchases.
You can use your card to make Visa payWave (contactless) transactions on amounts as shown below. Once you reach the maximum transaction limit, you will be asked to conduct another transaction, entering your PIN, after which your contactless limit will be refreshed once again.              NBF Classic card: Maximum amount:  500 NBF Platinum Exclusive card: 1000

Contactless transactions are faster than traditional point-of-sale transactions. Visa payWave is ideal for transactions under 400, as no signature or PIN is required. You don’t need to count your change or worry whether you have enough cash on hand to make your purchase.
As with any retail purchase, receipts are available upon request. All contactless purchases are recorded on your NBF bank statement and FastNet Classic along with all your other card purchases.
No. Contactless terminals have a limited range. Your card needs to be within a couple of centimetres to be read.

Contactless is a permanent feature of your card and can’t be disabled. You can still insert your credit card just as you always have if you don’t want to make a purchase using contactless.
No, there is no daily limit. You can make as many contactless transactions for the maximum allowed amount set for your card, after which you will have to conduct a transaction by inserting the pin. Once the transaction is completed you will be able to make additional contactless transactions.
There may be a small chance that the contactless functionality does not work straight away on your new card. Your card needs to be activated before the contactless functionality will work. If you use your card first on a transaction by inserting your card into a terminal then putting a PIN, then contactless should work after this transaction.
