    Ah, I see thanks.

    I thought the OP was wanting to set up an account for the family member, not use their own.
  • you may find (I have) that the leading banks that offer a basic account do NOT issue contactless cards , a basic account has no overdraft facilities and if you have no money in the account your card is declined
