by
iFAST Global Bank
Designed with convenience and protection in mind, debit card* activation ensures that only you can enable your card and access its full range of features.
Once activated, your debit card* can be used for everyday purchases, contactless payments, online transactions, and digital wallets wherever Visa is accepted.
How to Activate Your Debit Card*
The guide below shows the steps required to request, receive, and activate your physical debit card*, all within the app.
Built with Security at Its Core
The iFAST Global Bank debit card* features a numberless design, meaning sensitive card details such as the card number, expiry date, and CVV are not printed on the physical card. Instead, these details are securely stored and accessible only within the app.
If needed, card details can be managed digitally without waiting for a physical replacement, giving you faster control and added flexibility.
What You Can Do After Activation
Once your debit card* is activated, you can begin using it immediately for everyday spending. To enable contactless payments, simply complete your first PIN-authorised transaction.
You can also add your debit card* to Apple Wallet or Google Pay, allowing you to make contactless payments using your mobile device.
Ongoing Control Through the iFAST Global Bank App
After activation, you will have full visibility and control over your debit card* through the iFAST Global Bank app. This includes:
- Real-time transaction tracking
- Card freeze and unfreeze functionality
- Spending limit management
- Detailed transaction history
These tools are designed to help you manage your money confidently, wherever you are.
From Debit Card* to Everyday Banking
Your debit card* is linked to your iFAST Global Bank Multi-Currency Current Account, allowing you to hold, spend and earn interest^ across 9 available currencies, giving you the flexibility to manage your money globally. Whether you are spending locally or internationally, your debit card* supports seamless multi-currency usage, all managed conveniently within the app.
*Debit card is available to UK residents only. T&Cs Apply.
