How do I activate my Tesco Bank Credit Card?

Once you receive your card, the easiest way to activate it is through our Mobile Banking App. Simply download our Mobile Banking App to your phone and follow these three steps:

1. Sign in with the details you registered with during your application or register if you haven’t already done so.
2. On the app landing page, select Activate Card underneath your card on the landing page.
3. Enter the CVV number from the back of your card to activate it.

Alternatively, you can contact us to activate your card. You’ll need to enter your 16-digit credit card number so please have it ready. If you’re registered for Online Banking, you will also need to provide selected digits from your Security Number. This process will also activate any additional cardholders on the account.

If you’re Deaf, hard of hearing, have a speech impairment, or otherwise find it challenging to make a phone call, you can contact us through Relay UK by adding 18001 to the start of any contact numbers.

If you’re not registered for Online Banking, please follow the instructions provided during the registration process.
