Sends launches GBP digital cards for personal customers

We are pleased to announce the launch of GBP digital cards for Sends personal customers, making it even easier to pay in pounds sterling across the UK.

Available from today, 10 June 2026, the new digital cards can be issued instantly through the Sends platform and added directly to Apple Pay or Google Pay. With no physical card required, customers can start making secure payments within minutes.

A faster and more convenient way to pay in GBP

The new GBP digital card allows customers to spend directly from their GBP balance, providing a seamless payment experience for everyday purchases in the UK.

Whether you're shopping online, paying in-store, booking services or making contactless payments on the go, you can now use your Sends digital card through your preferred mobile wallet.

By paying directly in pounds sterling, customers can avoid unnecessary currency conversion when making purchases in the UK while benefiting from the convenience and security of digital payments.

Instant issuance, ready to use

Unlike traditional payment cards, Sends digital cards are issued instantly and can be activated immediately after creation.

There is no need to wait for a physical card to arrive in the post. Once issued, the card can be added to Apple Pay or Google Pay and used for online and contactless payments straight away.

This makes the card particularly useful for customers who need quick access to their funds or prefer the flexibility of a fully digital payment solution.

Building on our existing card offering

The launch of GBP digital cards expands Sends' existing card programme, which already includes EUR digital cards used by customers across Europe.

By introducing GBP support, Sends continues to enhance its payment ecosystem and provide customers with practical tools for managing and spending money in multiple currencies.

Designed for everyday payments

At Sends, we are committed to making financial services simpler, more accessible and more convenient.

The addition of GBP digital cards gives personal customers another flexible way to manage their finances, whether they are making daily purchases, shopping online or using mobile payments throughout the UK.

Eligible personal customers can create their GBP digital card today through their Sends account and start spending immediately.
