Hi I’m not sure if I’ve noticed a systems issue but I cannot find activate card available on my online browser of Tesco bank or on the mobile app. It appears to temporarily missing.

Hi , is this a new application or a replacement card for an existing account? - Ross

Replacement card for an existing account. The feature activate card was no showing on any online Tesco's banking system.

Sometimes when we went you a replacement card for an existing account, you won't need to activate this using the mobile app or online banking. This will be activated by using the card at CHIP and PIN! Can you try this and see if this allows the card to work?
