Why am I getting a new debit card while my current card is still valid?

We want all customers to be able to use the new features offered by the Mastercard debit card. In addition, it may be confusing for customers if we offer two different types of cards for years. That is why many cards are being replaced before their expiration date.

When will my old debit card stop working?

Your old card will stop working no later than three months after you receive the new debit card.

Will my PIN stay the same?

Yes, your replacement debit card will have the same PIN as your present card.

Do I have to pay for this new card?

No, cards that we send on our own initiative are always free of charge.

Can I refuse to change my current debit card for this new card?

No, that is not possible. All our clients will be sent a new debit card because the Maestro brand is being withdrawn. You will not be able to keep using your old debit card.

Why is there more information on my new debit card?

There is indeed more information on the new debit card. This includes the Primary Account Number (PAN) and Card Verification Code (CVC). You need this information for online payments.

Can I make use of all the new options?

Your new debit card allows you to do everything you could do with your old Maestro debit card. Whether you can use the extra payment options depends on your age (you must be at least 18), whether you are subject to certain conditions (under administration, for example) and whether you use the ABN AMRO app. The online payment options, such as paying with your card number and CVC or paying with your linked debit card, are only available if you use the ABN AMRO app.

Will my new debit card automatically work abroad? And do I still have to set it to Europe or World?

You’ll be able to pay with your new card anywhere in Europe. If you want to pay outside Europe, you must set your payment profile to 'World'. You can do this easily in the ABN AMRO app or on Internet Banking. Please note: remember to change your payment profile back to Europe on your return.

Does my transaction overview show which card I used to make each payment?

If you click the transaction, you’ll see the last 4 digits of the 16-digit number of the debit card you used for the transaction in question.

The benefits of your new debit card

Paying with your card details

If you opt to enter your card number manually, simply enter the following details when you pay:

Card number (PAN, 16 digits)
Expiry date
CVC code (3 digits)

It works like a credit card, but the payment is debited from your current account straight away.

Reserving an amount

You can use your new debit card to pay for online shopping, book a hotel or rental car. A reservation is useful when the total amount or delivery date is uncertain. The amount of the reservation will be deducted from your disposable balance in your current account.
