New card from bank

C_Ronaldo

Ive just received a new card from my bank and since its a new card the card has a new number on the front and a new 3 digit number on the back, do i have to change the card number with all the internet retailers i use

Yes you will.

The 3 digit number on the back is the CVC and should only be divulged if asked and the site you are on is secure.

Yes, this is a very annoying habit of some banks. LTSB now seem to change my debit card number every time it expires.

This means, as you say, that you have to tell all your online retailers. And some of them will just accept the new number, some (esp bookies) require you to go through the whole original validation process again - photocopies of cards etc - which can be a real pain.

But better surely than letting someone run amok with your cards?

All my other cards seem to keep the same number. They have yet to be run amok with.

i dont really consider it a nuisance as security is key
