You can raise or lower the limit for your credit card in KBC Touch or in KBC Mobile. It takes effect right away.

Did you know that...

... you can also raise your maximum limit directly, twice a year, each time for a one-month period. Please note that this service is not available for credit cards with a KBC Flex Budget.

If you have a credit card with a KBC Flex Budget facility, you can use KBC Touch to pay off your credit balance faster and so have the amount of credit available to you again after a few days.

If you want to have a permanent higher limit for your credit card (with or without a KBC Flex Budget facility), you will need to contact your KBC branch.

• I know my current PIN
You can change your PIN at an ATM at any time.
• I've forgotten my PIN
Get in touch with your KBC branch or with KBC Live and request a new PIN.

You can use your credit card as standard to make contactless payments.
If you would rather not have this facility enabled, you can disable it in KBC Touch or KBC Mobile. Just tap or click your credit card and go to the 'Manage card' tab.

Got a credit card with a KBC Flex Budget facility? The 'Manage credit' tab in KBC Touch lets you know in an instant:

• How much credit you've already used (orange)
• How much is still available (green)
• How much you've spent in the month in question and what will be deducted from your facility the following month (yellow)

You can also us it to:

• Transfer money to your KBC Current Account
• Transfer money to your KBC Flex Budget facility so that you can spend more on your credit card again
• Change the time you want to take to repay what you owe

Contact your KBC branch or KBC Live.

We’ll make sure that you can either:

• Set a new PIN at an ATM, or
• Arrange for a new one to be posted to your home address

Some traders reserve an amount on your credit card whenever you book, reserve or pay for something using your card. This may happen, for instance, when you book a room in a hotel or when you rent a car. The time the reserve is released varies from trader to trader, but can range from a few days to as long as a couple of weeks.

Check in KBC Touch or KBC Mobile to see whether your credit card has been activated for paying online.

Block your card immediately with KBC Mobile if it gets lost or stolen, or call Card Stop on 070 344 344 (0.30 euros a minute).

To be on the safe side, you should also block your card if it's retained by an ATM.

More information on blocking your credit card

Contact your KBC branch or KBC Live.

• Quickly replace your defective card in KBC Mobile.
To do this, go to the 'Manage card' tab for your credit card.

• If you haven't started using our app yet, get in touch with your bank branch or with KBC Live.
We'll check your card and, if necessary, ensure that it is replaced as soon as possible.

You can withdraw up to 620 euros every four days.

This can be done from any ATM in Belgium or abroad where you see the Mastercard logo.
Don't forget that withdrawing cash with your credit card costs you more in fees.

If you want to be able to use your card to pay for refuelling at a filling station, you’ll need to make sure that there's at least 125 euros on your card. This is usually the amount filling stations hold as a reserve on your card (though it can be more than that). It comes off the available balance on your card even before you've finished filling up and the exact amount is known. The actual cost of your fill-up will be charged to your card a couple of days afterwards, when the reserve on your card is released.

You can check the balance on your credit card in KBC Touch or KBC Mobile (delay of one to more days).

You can check your transactions:

• On your monthly billing statements
• Using KBC Touch or KBC Mobile when you tap or click the card number: you'll see the transaction amount, type, location, etc.

Paying for things and withdrawing cash with your credit card is not always charge-free.
