Welcome

Your card is strictly personal and nobody other than you may use it. Please sign the back of your card as soon as you receive it.
Your personal PIN number will have been posted to you. This four-digit code will be required at ATMs, many shops and for online payments. Your PIN is a secret code and must remain… secret! Do not write it down anywhere, especially not on your card.
Choose your own PIN
To enhance safety when using your card or just to simplify life we also offer you the possibility to change your PIN. You can also change it at any ING Self'Bank displaying the MasterCard or Visa logo. Select the function “Change PIN" and follow the instructions on the screen to choose your new PIN. Beware: avoid combinations which are easy to guess.
Your card and your PIN
TIP
If you want to order a new PIN, please contact your branch.

What to do if your card is lost or stolen?
As soon as you realise that your ING credit card has been lost or stolen, just give a call and you can rest assured.
• Immediately call Card Stop on 070 344 344 (or +32 70 344 344 if you are calling from abroad). Your card will be blocked straightaway. Please note this number in both your diary and your mobile phone.
• Report the loss or theft to the local official authorities within 24 hours.
• At the possible request of Atos Worldline, provide the proof and references of your report (chaussée de Haecht 1442, 1130 Brussels). Accordingly you will be fully discharged from any liability for fraudulent expenditure carried out by a third party either from the day of your phone call (in the case of manually recorded transactions) or from the precise time of your call (in the case of electronic transactions). In the case of transactions carried out before such day or time, your liability will generally be limited. Always remain on your guard when entering your PIN.
Your card and your PIN

The amount you can spend each month by means of your card is fixed. If this limit does not meet your transaction requirements you can, at any time, apply to your ING branch to increase this spending limit.
ING Card holders can also:
• increase the spending limit easily via:
- Home'Bank - Self’Bank - Phone'Bank
• increase your limit yourself by making deposits to fund your ING Card account in Home’Bank and Self’Bank. This possibility is extremely practical if you are planning a major spending spree, just before going on holiday for instance.
When you make a deposit on your ING Card account, it takes two working days for the spending limit increase to take effect.
Your spending limit
9
Your card is accepted in millions of retail outlets displaying the MasterCard or Visa logo: a variety of services, shops, restaurants, supermarkets, taxis, car rental companies, petrol stations, airlines, tollbooths, hotels, internet stores, etc. both in Belgium and abroad. You are assured of a warm welcome at all times.
A. Payments in Belgium and abroad
Nothing could be easier than paying for your purchases with your card. Depending on the terminal, you accept the transaction:
• by entering your PIN and then pressing OK
• by manually signing the voucher presented by the merchant
Your spending limit
TIP
Keep the copies of the sales vouchers carefully as you will need them to check the transactions indicated on your statement of expenditure.
How to use your ING credit card?
10
ING Card: additional service
If you have chosen an ING Card, you can transfer, via Home Bank and Self'Bank, money from your ING Card account to any other Belgian account. Provided the account is sufficiently funded when the transfer is carried out, the money will be transferred to the current account within two working days.
B. Online payments
Check to see if the "Verified by Visa" and "MasterCard SecureCode" logos are visible on the websites where you want to make purchases. The logos certify that these sites meet the security requirements for online payments stipulated by Visa or MasterCard.
The merchants will ask you, via their website, to provide the number and expiry date of your card. In addition, for Belgium you must often enter the CVC code: the last three digits of the number on the back of your card. Next, you will be asked to identify yourself by means of your ING Card Reader as you do with Home Bank. In this way you confirm that you are the card holder. Your purchase will be confirmed via the vendor's site.
Sites that do not display these logos do not offer the same security conditions as you are not required to confirm that you are the card holder.
11
12
C. Remote payments (by telephone)
You can make payments by telephone or mail using your ING credit card. For that purpose, simply provide your name and address, as well as the number and expiry date of your card. In some cases, you will also have to enter the CVC number of your card (the 3-digit code on the back of your card).
TIP
Never disclose your PIN number, even when making purchases over the phone.

D. Cash withdrawals
ATMsYour card and your PIN allow you to withdraw money 24/7 at any ATM displaying the MasterCard or Visa logo, both in Belgium and abroad. Total cash withdrawals made with the same card from cash dispensers may never exceed 620 euros per period of four consecutive days. This amount can be withdrawn in one go or spread over several transactions.
Foreign exchange agenciesBy simply showing your card, you can also withdraw cash from exchange agencies in Belgium and abroad. Once your identity has been checked, you will receive the amount requested.
For all the withdrawals you make, the maximum amount will correspond to the maximum limit of your ING credit card.
E. Service charges
