Use your Discovery Bank card
To pay in-store
Make tap-and-go payments wherever you see the contactless payment symbol. Simply tap your Discovery Bank card on the contactless reader and enter your PIN, if requested. When tap-and-go isn't available, you can also insert your Discovery Bank card to make secure chip-and-PIN transactions or swipe your Discovery Bank card (at the merchant's discretion).
To pay online
Shop online using your Discovery Bank physical and virtual cards' unique 16-digit card numbers, expiry dates and CVVs.
You can view these details for both physical and virtual cards in the Discovery Bank app.

You can add as many virtual cards as you need on the Discovery Bank app, at no cost.
