Request a Card Reader - Stage 3

At Tesco we take online security very seriously, so once you have fully completed your Online Banking registration process you should request your Card Reader.

This is a small device that will give you extra security on your account and allows you to add and amend payee details.

  1. You're almost there! Log on to your account, click on "Manage" and then select "Change Settings". Choose "Order Card Reader" from the options listed.
  2. We'll then send you a Digital Banking Card to use with your Card Reader.
  3. You'll also receive a PIN number shortly after you've received your Digital Banking Card.
  4. Your Card Reader will arrive along with details of how to activate it online. Once activated, you'll be able to use your Card Reader to set up payee details for your account and make payments online*.

If you cannot locate your Card Reader or need help using it, please call 0845 300 64 39.
