Your Tide Card

How do the card types differ?

The four types of cards offered by Tide can be distinguished as follows:

Physical card (with numbers): The classic card on which all sensitive data is printed directly and which works universally at cash machines and terminals.

Card without card number: A physical card that does not display any printed data for security reasons, so that thieves cannot use it for online purchases if it is lost, for example.

Virtual card: A purely digital additional card with its own number that only exists in your banking app and is ideal for secure online shopping as it can be easily deleted.

Digital card: The encrypted image of your card on your smartphone (e.g. in Apple Wallet), which you can use to make contactless payments at the checkout without having your physical card with you.
