Instructions
Step 1
Carry out any operation on a credit card - it is not even necessary to withdraw funds from a credit card, you just need to check your account, your balance, and receive an account statement from an ATM. If you intend to withdraw funds from a credit card to activate it, it is better to do so at the ATM of the bank that issued your credit card. In any case, without activating a recently received credit card, you will not be able to make cashless payments with it.
Step 2
Call your credit card issuing bank to confirm that the card holder has received the card. This is especially important if you have a credit history. Since the card comes in an envelope, and there is no guarantee that it will get to its owner, the bank offers to call and activate the card by phone, while you will need to confirm your passport details and a keyword. Thus, the bank employee will make sure that the card has found the addressee.
Step 3
Visit the nearest branch or branch of the bank that issued the credit card, and activate it directly at the bank with a loan officer's part. You will need a passport, card, as well as codes and a keyword - this is necessary to identify the client in the bank's lending system. The client receives the keyword and identification codes when applying for a consumer loan or credit card. Activate the card in any convenient way offered by the issuing bank. Methods may vary depending on the credit policy of the bank that issued the credit card.
