More about the Ocean Credit Card
The Ocean Credit Card is issued by Capital One (Europe) and has an APR from 24.9% APR (variable) with no annual fee. There’s an initial credit limit of £200 to £8,000 and the amount offered varies by customer depending on their credit history and financial situation. Ocean Finance is a trading name of Intelligent Lending Limited.
How do I use my card in a shop?
Insert your card into the card reader (also known as a Chip and PIN terminal), check the amount is correct, then enter your four-digit PIN on the keypad. The sales assistant will give you a receipt when the transaction is complete.
If you have a contactless card simply hold it over the card reader until it beeps to make a payment. But remember, you can only do this on transactions of £100 or less. When using your card in one of the few outlets that don’t have card readers, the sales assistants will swipe you card and give you a receipt to sign.
How do I use my card to make purchases online?
When you reach the checkout you’ll be asked for your name as it appears on your card, your 16-digit card number, the card’s expiry date and the CVV2 number. The CVV2 number is on the back of your card. It’s the last three digits on the signature strip and is sometimes called the security code.
Remember, you will never have to use your PIN to buy online. You are automatically registered for Mastercard ID Check and Visa Secure, which provide an extra level of protection when you make online purchases. To complete your transaction, you may need to enter a one-time passcode which can be sent to your mobile phone or landline. To find out more about one-time passcodes visit www.capitalone.co.uk/otp.
