Switching from the Preview's Debit Cards to the Final Generation of the Card

[nick69g (Nick)]

When we get the new debit cards (after the preview) I assume they will have a different number so we will have to update anyone that has that (e.g. Spotify); but I assume our account number will stay the same.

Yeah, account numbers will stay the same. As with any other bank, the card number will change.

Exactly Although apparently @richard3 has exciting plans to one day be able to replace cards without having to change card numbers (I know no more than that)

[alexs (Alex Sherwood)]

I wonder whether that’s linked to this at all

@daniel

Different card numbers on different interfaces on the card, e.g. a different card number on contactless and embossed on the front. This helps protect from fraud as details stolen from the contactless interface would be useless to a criminal.

Would be one of the best stand out features! Nothing worse than Barclays randomly sending me a new card and then having to change my stored card details absolutely everywhere!

Will the transaction history be carried over from the Preview account to the Current Account?

Visa have this feature - when Santander replaced my card the number automatically updated at some major online retailers (e.g Amazon)
