Did two transactions yesterday (at the same store) which went through as contactless without problems.


Looked online this morning and both transactions are showing in pending as CHIP & PIN


Just as I thought it was beginning to run smoothly....................


Doesn't appear to be any online way of contacting TSB, or is there?

Mine all seem to be showing as Contactless so far!
I cant find an email or LiveChat so ringing them is the only option.

Ring about 3pm and I got straight through rather than wait in a queue!

With 4 TSB cards between us and having to frequently reset with a cash withdrawal of £10 we found we had too much cash!

Pay it back into your account if you have too much.

All my contactless payments look exactly the same online as my C&P payments. How do you distinguish yours?

Yes - but that takes time to go to a branch and deposit money and in the meantime you lose interest with cash doing nothing in your pocket - easier to get £5 out instead of £10 in the first place.

Interest on £10 for a month is about 3p. So lost interest on a few tenners probably won't burn a hole into your finances. Surely you'll pass some bank or ATM that takes deposits in the process of a month....you may even be able to deposit cash using the ATM you just used to withdraw your tenner or fiver. Gosh, we've got so many first world problems.

On my NatWest, all contactless transactions have a 'C' immediately after the date within the transaction.

However apologies, on my TSB i have only so far used for contactless! So cant be sure, but they all say CD within the transaction. Not sure yet though!

Pending payments only are shown as either CHIP and PIN or Contactless on your statement page as shown below (on your statement it's a clickable link). However once a payment is shown as a confirmed payment you cannot tell which is which.

Thanks, must have a look if/when I use my TSB contactless again.

Not very MSE but I've given up with the 5% contactless cashback. Transitions continually fail. It's easier for me to use one of my stoozing credit cards.

I never even started, despite having a quite a few TSB contactless cards.


I simply don't do enough spending(!). And the grocery shopping I do do already gets 10% discount...and very occasionally 20%, and when I re-fuel I spend £70-80 plus and can't be bothered splitting it up and re-fuelling more often.
