For new customers
If you're new to NatWest International, we'll post your Mastercard debit card and PIN separately. You should receive these within a few days of opening your account. Instructions on activating your card will be included.
Expiring debit cards
Your replacement card will arrive at least one week before the existing card is due to expire. The date on which your card will expire is the last day of the month in the year printed on the front of your card. It is shown as 'Expires End MM/YY'.
Please begin to use your replacement card as soon as it has arrived and securely destroy your old card.
Remember to amend any existing payments you have set up with your old card number such as magazine subscriptions, online shopping sites or annual insurance renewals.
Please be aware that if you haven't used your card for a period of at least 13 months prior to expiry, we don't automatically replace your card. Using your debit card with your card-reader to approve a new payee within Online Banking will not be recognised as card activity.
