Security

Absolutely nothing! If you replace one of our debit or credit cards (like when it gets damaged or it’s expired), we’ll make sure that you can continue to use Apple Pay.

If you’ve lost your iPhone or it’s been stolen, have your debit or credit card linked to Apple Pay blocked right away. The same applies if you lose your linked debit or credit card.

You can block your card in KBC Mobile or by calling Card Stop on 078 170 170. You can block your iPhone using ‘Find my iPhone’.

Once your card or iPhone has been blocked, it can no longer be used to pay, including by Apple Pay.

When you receive your new debit or credit card, you can link it to Apple Pay.

Charges and limits

No. You can use Apple Pay free of charge.

Note that if you’re outside the euro area and use Apple Pay to pay for something, you’ll be charged a foreign exchange commission. See the applicable charges for a debit or credit card linked to Apple Pay.

Apple Pay spending limits are the same as those for your debit or credit card.
