Receipt of my Visa Debit card

  1. You should have received your PIN code, so get it ready.
  2. Use your Visa Debit card with your new PIN code as soon as you receive it:

• Make an in-store purchase and enter your new PIN code

• A withdrawal at a payment terminal (ING Luxembourg ATM)

This will activate contactless payments and automatically block your previous Visa Debit card.

Yes, the PIN codes are sent from France (Bouches du Rhône) and the Visa Debit cards come from Germany.

Receipt of my Visa credit card

  1. The first thing you need to do is use it in a store and pay by inserting the card into the payment terminal by entering your PIN. This will enable contactless payments.
  2. Your old Visa card will be automatically blocked for security reasons.
  3. If you have enlisted your old Visa card on merchant sites (e.g. Amazon, PayPal etc.), do not forget to make the necessary changes.

Yes, because the “physical” Visa Classic, Visa Gold, Visa Platinum and Visa Business cards come from Germany, whereas the “virtual card”, the Visa CyberCard comes from France.

You may encounter a technical problem with the synchronization of your new card and PIN code (incorrect PIN message at the time of payment).

To solve the problem, all you have to do is:

  1. Go to one of our ING Luxembourg ATM's, insert your new Visa card, and enter your PIN code (no further operation necessary).
    or
  2. Make a withdrawal with your new Visa card by entering your PIN code on one of the ATM's other than ING Luxembourg. Be careful, when using this method, fees may apply.

Fraud on a Visa card

What is fraud? 

Fraud is the acquisition and use, by an unknown person, of card data or of the card itself (following theft or loss), without your consent and without your knowledge.

Have you not completed the transaction yourself ?

Pay careful attention to unsubscribed subscriptions/renewals, promotions and offers that have not been terminated, etc. Those are not fraud and have to be claimed directly with the merchant, or thru the Simple claim form.


When opening a case of fraud, the card must be :

Frozen;

Attached to the form (or declaration of loss/theft to the authorities, if applicable).

Other types of claims

What are the other types of claims? 

The other types of claims refer to merchants/websites through which you have legitimately performed a transaction, to whom you yourself have communicated the data of your VISA card, but for which there is a dispute thereafter.

  • Service not rendered or merchandise not received

  • Defective merchandise, Non-compliant service/merchandise

  • Counterfeit goods

  • Debit of a recurring transaction (subscription) that has been previously cancelled
  • Unrecognised transaction - simple inquiry for information

  • Incorrect amount or currency

  • Single transaction recorded multiple times

  • Goods or services paid for by another means of payment

  • Merchant reimbursement not carried out

  • Cash not received upon withdrawal from ATM

For each dispute, it is important to refer to the indications mentioned on pages 3 to 5 of the form in order to acquaint yourself with the terms and conditions as well as the documents necessary for the processing of your case.

You will find below a comparison of the European Central Bank (ECB) reference rates and the rates we offer you for your foreign-currency payments by card (debit or credit) in the European Economic Area (EU Cross Border*).

IBAN & BIC/SWIFT

IBAN stands for International Banking Account Number, a new international standard for a uniform structure of account numbers designed to make transfers within Europe more rapid and secure.

This new bank account number structure is being introduced for cross-border transfers between several European countries. 

The BIC or Bank Identifier Code is your bank's international identification code (also called SWIFT code) which must be stated in your cross-border transfers. For example, the BIC for ING Luxembourg is CELLLULL. 

An IBAN always begins with the ISO code of the country of origin, followed by a check digit (a two-digit validation number), a bank code and a bank account number.

In paper format, it is divided into several groups made up of four characters separated by spaces. The final group may contain fewer characters.

In electronic format, the spaces between the blocks are suppressed.

The IBAN length varies from country to country. 

Since 1/01/2003, the IBAN is compulsory for transfers in Luxembourg and for cross-border transfers. For transfers in Luxembourg, the BIC appears in the pull-down menu on the Internet. 

Since 1 July 2003, the BIC code is one of the criteria necessary if you want your transfers towards other European countries (or assimilated) to benefit from tariffs similar to these for an equivalent domestic payment. They have to comply with the 4 following criteria : 

  • in EUR; 
  • in which both the accounts held by the originator and the beneficiary are opened in one of the 28 EU Member States (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom) or in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway or Switzerland. 
  • giving a IBAN (International Bank Account Number); 
  • with shared costs (also referred to as SHA, standing for ‘shared’).

 

Your 6-figure customer number is found in the middle of the account number : the last 3 figures at the end of the 3rd block and the first 3 figures at the start of the 4th block. 

What are instant payments?

An instant payment is a money transfer in EUR executed in real time between two bank accounts located in a SEPA zone country1.

It can be used to transfer funds within 10 seconds. Instant payment is available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including weekends and holidays. Beneficiaries of the funds can use them immediately.

1) SEPA (Single EuroPayments Area): EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Monaco,Switzerland and San Marino

As a payee of a payment, if the payer's bank participates in Instant Payments, you can receive payments 7 days a week, 24 hours a day to all your EUR current accounts at ING.

This functionality is not available for the moment.

We are aiming to provide this feature in a step-wise manner and it will be progressively rolled-out for the different business lines. We will keep you informed as soon as such initiation will be possible.

However, the « urgent transfer » option in your My ING remains available. The transfer of the funds will be done in max 24h with some additional fees (more info on ing.lu/tariffs).

We only allow instant payments on EUR current, Visa and Savings accounts. If we receive an instant payment to an IBAN which belongs to a non-EUR account, it will be automatically rejected. In addition, we only allow instant payments up to a maximum of 100,000 EUR.

There are no fees when receiving an Instant Payment in EUR.
