Halifax Contactless Credit Card

Does anyone know if Halifax are currently issuing contactless credit cards?

Many of my local shops now accept these cards, but I'm currently limited to using a prepaid card to take advantage of the convenience

You can get bank accounts which offer contactless cards, I know Barclays, Lloyds and Natwest do however I don't think Halifax has any contactless product.

Neither my Halifax debit card or credit card are contactless, I didn't think they issued contactless cards. My Natwest debit card is contactless, although my Natwest credit card isn't. My MBNA Visa and Amex are both contactless. I also have the Paypal Access card, which is also contactless

If its any help i have a Halifax Clarity contactless credit card. I applied for it in January. (But my Halifax Debit card is not contactless and i applied for that at the same time).

http://www.contactless.info/UpdateOnUkRollout.asp shows Halifax have issued them but I can only find information on the trial rollout in 2007.

That is interesting. So if my Clarity card was to "stop working", I may be issued with a contactless card?

I would assume so, yes. Although i would have thought more halifax customers would have confirmed this. Surely i cant be the only one?

That's interesting. My Reward debit card expires in three months, so I'll see what comes.

If your card is due to expire and you want contactless i would ring up and check before it's issued.

My husband has just done this as his Halifax Reward debit card was due to expire in May.

The agent explained that they are only issuing contactless cards in specific areas (eg London) but would see what he could do. 2 min later he came back and said he'd found the instructions on how to request a card but had never tried them.

The process obviously worked as the card arrived today.
