Is it possible to turn off contactless payments for cards?

If it is technically possible, it would be a nice feature with added security.

Another idea for added security: don't print card numbers on the card (or remove as they can be found in the app). Same applies to "valid until".

Jürgen Should be possible, as others are doing it. Some banks have on/off toggles for location based transactions (the phone has to be in the same country as the purchase, swipe purchases, contacless purchates, withdrawals at ATMs and online transactions. So I guess it can be done. Would be really great to have this as a bunq feature as well.

Jürgen You need the card number for paper slip transactions. Although I don't know if these are still done somewhere in the world.

maique You do have some points here, although I must say bunq's country-based whitelist is sufficient for me.
Swipe purchases are configured indirectly, i.e. when you don't have USA on your whitelist, mag stripe is disabled.
To be honest I never understood the desire of some people to disable contactless with their cards, but I agree that there should (again) be a toggle for that.
