All new Kuwait Finance House PLC cards are now Contactless

This means that there is no need for you to enter your PIN, or sign, for everyday purchases under £100. You simply touch the reader with your contactless card and the transaction will be completed in seconds.

You can use Contactless wherever you see the symbol , both inside and outside the UK. It is accepted in many retail stores and restaurants as well as on buses, trains, taxis and the Tube.

Contactless payments are safe and secure, and you are 100% protected against fraud if you have complied with our General Terms & Conditions Governing Accounts and Services, including taking reasonable precautions to protect your card and letting us know as soon as you realise it may be missing. For extra security we may occasionally prompt the Merchant to ask you to enter your card into the card reader and input your PIN number, so that we know it is you using the card.

If you are registered with us to receive SMS transaction messages to your mobile phone or emails, Contactless transactions will appear in exactly the same way, so you will know if someone is using your card. If you do not recognise any transactions, please call us immediately on the Fraud hotline +44-20-7487-6679 so that we can stop your card.

If you require your card to be blocked, please contact either your Relationship Manager or our 24/7 helpline on +44 (0) 207 487 6679. This number is available 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.

Should you not want to use your card for contactless transactions then you simply choose to insert your card into the chip reader as normal, and you will be prompted to input your PIN. Please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions section for more information.
