Debit card won’t work in machine or chip and pin and won’t tap

I have no other cards, it is also what I use to travel by tapping. No cash money at home.

Are banks open today? What can I do next?

I don’t want this card cancelled whilst they send out a new one, it still needs to work for my online orders while this is being sorted out.

What’s the easiest fastest way to get this sorted?

Quite stressed with other things going on and not feeling very well today, so not thinking as clearly as usual. It is a long walk to nearest bank, but it’s doable. Please advise me.

Set it up on your phone.

I would ring your bank in the first instance

Phone the bank? Maybe it's just needing unblocked.

It’s a few years old and is a bit bent out of shape and has lots of big scratches. I am almost certain it is not blocked, no unusual activity in my account.

Connect the card to your phone for contactless payments then tap with that
