    Is it possible to request a debit card without contactless? I do not like the unverified nature of contactless transactions and I would prefer a card without such "functionality."

    Additionally, If I am unable to get a non-contactless debit card, will I be reimbursed for any fraudulent usage in the event my card is stolen? 

    Regards.

    When was the new card policy introduced? My aunt had a bad experience with contactless and she was given a regular non-contactless card.

    If you snip off the bottom right corner of the card, it breaks the embedded rfid wiring disabling the contactless and keeping the card usable. This is why when cards get old and develop a crack in pockets or whatever the contactless stops working,

    Snip off a bit, go shop try it, if contactless still works go litte deeper etc
