Natwest Credit Card - Activate

Hey peeps, so I received my new Natwest Credit card the month my previous one had expired. I opened the letter and it mentioned nothing about activation, no sticker on card or anything. So, is it already active or do I have to call up and activate it?

    yes, usually replacement cards do not require activation.
    and any card requiring activation should say so (with a sticker on the card)
  • Hi, I got my new debit card through the other day and no need to activate just works like normal.

    I assume the credit card would be the same. x
