Shopping Delivery Mercadona

Cannot speak authoritatively but would assume UK bank cards may now be difficult, especially as some UK banks have withdrawn from the EU.

Hi Jean PSD2 is a new authentication to prevent fraudulent transactions please check out this website

Hope this helps

Thanks that's really interesting, I'll have to find out why my payments not being allowed, although Mercadona have been very helpful, apparently they changed something on their site, she said about a month ago, so the lady promised to sort it next time there is a problem.

Thanks gail

Oh didn't know that, well that could be a factor, what a mess Britain has got itself into.

Thanks Jean

Hi Jean,

It may be that your use of the card abroad needs updating with your bank (easily done online). The maximum my bank allows is a 6 months period before having to once again update your dates with them. Really easy to forget to notify of the date extending. While online with your bank check that they have the full mobile number for contacting you as they are now sending authorisation text numbers for online payments.

Regards

Iain

I can't help but wonder why you don't have a Spanish debit or credit card, the mind boggles.

I am very surprised at the amount of people who live here and don't have a spanish bank account. I wonder if it's easy to use foreign bank cards from third countries all the time in the UK.

American Express?!!!

Yes you could be right, I have had confirmation numbers sent before, so that's right. I think there may be a problem, because I don't have a smartphone so can't touch screen. Have been in touch with my bank, pretty useless as they said there is no problem or stops on my account.

Mercadona have been really helpful so am hopeful they can sort it.

Many thanks
