The method of its activation depends on the type of bank card and the banking system. These methods are: activation by phone, using Internet banking, through an ATM or by depositing funds into a card account.
Instructions
Step 1
You can activate your bank card using your mobile or landline phone. To do this, call the number indicated on the card itself, in the agreement or in the insert issued with the card upon receipt. Before making a call, make sure your phone supports the function of switching to tone mode. Then follow the instructions of the autoinformer, which will tell you what actions to take. Be prepared for the fact that you will be required to enter your card number, passport details and PIN (if required). After the performed operations, your card will be activated.
Step 2
You can activate your bank card through Internet banking. To do this, go to your bank's internet banking page. Enter the username and password provided to you by the bank earlier. Select "Bank card activation" and follow the further prompts.
Step 3
To activate the card through the ATM, insert the card into the ATM that belongs to your bank, enter the PIN-code, select "Activate the card" and follow the further prompts on the ATM screen.
Step 4
You can also activate the card by depositing cash on it. To do this, contact the bank with your passport and deposit the amount of money on the card that is required to activate it. In addition to depositing cash at the bank, you can do this through an ATM. To do this, insert the card into it, enter the PIN-code, enter the money into the bill acceptor and wait until the information appears on the screen that the card is activated.
Step 5
Remember that your personal funds are stored on your bank card. Therefore, you should not trust its activation or withdrawal of money from it even to friends or relatives.
In addition, in order to ensure the safety of your own funds, do not give anyone or write down the PIN code that was given to you with the card.
