I can’t pay or withdraw money anymore

If you’re unable to use your card to make payments or withdraw cash, there are a few things you can do.

    Tip: Note that it is only possible to withdraw an amount equal to or less than the balance in your account.

    These instructions apply to the following cards:

    • Debit Cards (Visa & Mastercard)
    • EC Cards (V PAY & Maestro)

    Check the balance of your card account

    5. Use the IBAN to make sure that there is enough money in the account
