How To Activate a New Nationwide Debit Card
What is Debit Card?
A debit card, also known as a check card or bank card, is a payment card that can be used in place of cash to make purchases. The card usually consists of the bank’s name, a card number, the cardholder’s name, and an expiration date, on either the front or the back.

You don’t need to do anything to activate your debit card. You’ll be able to use it to make online payments as soon as it arrives in the post.
