Chip and PIN

You’re probably familiar with chip and PIN as it’s been around for a while now, and is still the most widespread way of paying just about everywhere you need to physically present your card, like shops and restaurants.

If you’re not sure what we’re talking about, it’s where you pop your credit card in a payment machine and input the 4 digit number sent to you when you opened your account.

Contactless and mobile devices

All MBNA cards are contactless as standard, so you can use them wherever you see the contactless symbol. If using your smartphone or a mobile device to make payments sounds like your thing, the good news is you can add your MBNA card to your devices.

Using a card - make payments of up to £100.

As an added security step, you might be asked to enter your PIN from time to time, usually when you’ve made a lot of transactions in a short space of time.

Using a mobile device - some retailers set their own limits, so check with them before you pay.

Shopping online and over the phone

You can use the long card number, expiry date and 3-digit security code on your card to shop online and over the phone. If you don’t have your card to hand, you can view your card details in the MBNA Mobile App.

It’s really important you know who you’re talking to when you give out your card details over the phone, so make sure you only do this with reputable companies.

Shopping abroad

Your MBNA credit card also makes a great travel pal as it can usually be used in the same way for shopping overseas as it can at home. Remember though, we usually charge a non-sterling transaction fee for transactions made with your credit card overseas. Check your account terms and conditions for more information about any overseas fees and charges.

You’ll find lots of handy stuff in our guide to using your card abroad.

Also useful to know

Unless there's a retail promotional rate of 0% on your account, or you pay your statement balance in full every month (including the full amount of any transfers), you'll pay interest on card purchases.

We offer a range of payment options to suit you.

As standard, you won't be liable for any transactions that are confirmed as fraudulent, provided that you tell us as soon as you spot anything unusual on your account, or if your card is lost/has been stolen.

Making payments to your account

It's important to make your monthly payments on time. If you pay late or miss a payment, you may have to pay fees, lose any promotional offers you have, and it could damage your credit score.

Remember to check your statements for the minimum payment amount and due date. We recommend you pay more than the minimum amount when you can to reduce the time and cost of repaying your balance.

From Direct Debit payments which pretty much look after themselves, to one-off debit card payments, we offer a range of payment options to suit you.
