The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has introduced new regulations that allow banks and payment providers to set their own contactless card limits, provided they maintain strong fraud protections. This change comes amid rising food prices driven by factors including global conflicts, which have pushed many grocery bills beyond the traditional contactless threshold.https://birminghamdaily.co.uk/halifax-updates-customers-on-replacement-card-activation-and-code-requirements/Sun, 07 Jun 2026 21:48:00 +0000https://birminghamdaily.co.uk/halifax-updates-customers-on-replacement-card-activation-and-code-requirements/Halifax has provided important information for customers awaiting their replacement Visa debit cards. A customer recently reached out on social media, asking when their new card would arrive ahead of their current one expiring at the end of June. In response, Halifax explained that replacement cards are typically sent out in advance and should arrive within five working days. However, sometimes the delivery may be closer to the expiry date, but customers should receive their new card before the old one expires.
