When You register Your Metro Bank credit or debit card with a Digital Wallet Provider, it is important that You keep Your device secure. It is important that You set a device passcode that is different from details for any other accounts as this will help to ensure Your device remains secure.
We advise that You do not let anyone else use a Digital Wallet Service on Your device. If You share Your device with someone else or allow them to use Your access details for a Digital Wallet Service (i.e. by providing Your passcode), You will be responsible for any payments they may make from Your device. If You believe that somebody else knows any security information that You use for the Digital Wallet Services or Your device, You should change that information immediately.

Please check the instructions for Your device and check the terms and conditions of the relevant Digital Wallet Provider who may be able to assist.
