Authorise payments via the mobile app

    Hello, wondering if anyone experienced previously or knowledge on how to resolve an issue I’m having now regards authorisation/OTP of online payments ?

    I recently got issued a replacement credit card which has been activated and used already for a number o transactions. Card number was also auto-updated in Tesco Bank App before card had even hit the letterbox.

    For some reason though, any online transaction authorisation is now sending an OTP code via Text message where previously it was a request to Authorise via the App.

    I would like to revert back to App authorisation and tried a number of things that I thought may sort this but no joy. I have deleted and re-downloaded App etc in hope too.

    Any help/thoughts appreciated.

    Thanks.
