Do not use the name pre-printed on your Prepaid Maestro® Card- unless you have applied for, and received a personalised card. To find out more about ordering a personalised card (there will be a charge for this), please call Customer Care.

‘Swipe Or Chip’ card?

Non-chip cards still have PIN technology through the magnetic stripe on the reverse of the card. The retailer must swipe the card through their terminal or till point and ask you to either enter your PIN or sign to authorise payment.

Cash back

Some merchants offer a cash back option that allows you to obtain cash over and above the amount of your purchase. Please note purchase transaction fees apply.

Identity

In some countries it is standard practice to ask you for identity when making a purchase with a credit or debit card.

‘Zip Zap’ Machines

Your Tuxedo card must be authorised online and should not be used in the old fashioned Zip Zap or Click Clack machines as this can generate substantial unexpected or additional costs to you.
