Lost card replacement
Should your card be lost or stolen, please call the Nedbank Contact Centre immediately on +27 (0)860 555 111 to block it as soon as you realise that it is missing.
When you block one of the cards, the other card will remain active so you will still be able to spend abroad.
Additional information
