FAQs

For your security …

• Sign your card immediately (this customization constitutes the first element of your security)
• Keep it carefully
• Keep only for you the secret code sent to you by personal mail. This secret code constitutes the regular validation mode of electronic payments and withdrawals at ATM machines.
  No one has the right to request it : neither a merchant nor a bank …
• You should never write your code in a notebook or a paper that may be stolen with your card. Memorize it and destroy the document on which it was addressed to you. In case you forget your secret code, contact your branch to receive another one.
• When you enter your secret code, make sure to be away from prying eyes, do not get distracted and do not hesitate to hide the keyboard with your free hand. Do not enter more than 2 wrong numbers of your code.

Validity of your card…

It is valid until the last day of the month indicated after the expression « Good thru ». After this date, you may not be able to use it anymore. Your card will be renewed prior to the expiry in order to enable you to avail of all the services without interruption.

Customization of monthly ceiling of payment of your card

The maximum ceiling of your card is customized. It is fixed with your Account Manager upon enrollment according to your monthly payments. According to the evolution of your needs, you may request the permanent or temporary modification of the same.

You should verify, on periodic basis, namely when you have an important purchase or a trip, that your ceiling is sufficient.

Fast easy payment
