You can also transfer money from your O2 Wallet account back into your chosen bank account, although you are charged £1 to send it via Faster Payments which takes up to two hours. It's free if you can wait up to four working days.0

A point to note is that the card is contactless, and that there's no fees for using it as a debit card. As such, if you order the card before 1st June, this seems like a cheap way to get a contactless card.urs sinserly,

This would appear to breach Regulation 70(1) of the Payment Services Regulations 2009.We are born naked, wet and hungry...Then things get worse.

I guess the Regulations apply to banks and BSs only. E-wallets just use the services provided by the banks.
“payment service provider” means any of the following persons when they carry out payment services—
(a) authorised payment institutions;
(b) small payment institutions;
(c) EEA authorised payment institutions;
(d) credit institutions;
(e) electronic money institutions;
(f) the Post Office Limited;
(g) the Bank of England, the European Central Bank and the national central banks of EEA States other than the United Kingdom, other than when acting in their capacity as a monetary authority or carrying out other functions of a public nature; and
(h) government departments and local authorities, other than when carrying out functions of a public nature;0 -
Well, I know at least two other e-wallets (FSA regulated) that take several days to process withdrawals: Moneybookers and Neteller. I think so do Paypal.We are born naked, wet and hungry...Then things get worse.

Here's another cheap (nay... FREE) way to get a contactless card — ask your current bank! Most are running trials (e.g. NatWest), and Barclays offer it for all eligible customers.0 -
