    I don't know if that was supposed to be a joke or you were mocking me, but I found it funny. :D

    Definitely not directed at you anon120 and definitely intended to be a bit tongue and cheek.:beer:

    Wow, it's like... a debit card with the TSB logo on it. Certainly a surprise; at least I can sleep tonight.

    I kinda think I got it, but I wasn't sure cause English is not my first language. Thanks. :)

    My old Lloyds TSB debit card (the one with the London 2012 on it) had a big chip and it wasn't contactless...

    Im not convinced by this chip size theory :D

    It's not the size of the chip that matters...

    It's just a different type of contact pad layout, nothing to do with the size of the chip, which is buried inside the plastic.

    For example, here's another card with contactless:

    The chip size depends on the manufacturer - the large one looks like Gemplus, but as others have said, the only way to check it is Contactless is to see the logo, and there doesn't appear to be any.

    TSB - the home of the anti RFID cards? :)

    My friend has the cash account with LTSB so one of the cards will be the Cash card? They are being moved over to TSB.
