What's an active card check?

Updated over a week ago

When you use your Yonder card in-store or online, some merchants may perform an active card check. This is a routine process to verify that your card details are correct, and that your card is valid and active.

Sometimes, this check involves a small temporary test payment, usually between 0p and £1. Don’t worry, this amount will be refunded to your account within 7 working days.

Active card checks are standard practice and nothing to be concerned about.
