New Visa cards

In a constant effort to improve the quality of our services and to develop the functionalities of our credit cards very soon, we have sent you your new Visa card.

The look of the "physical" cards and some of the names

  • Visa Classic
  • Visa Gold (replaces your old Visa Classic & Assistance)
  • Visa Platinum (replaces your old Visa Gold)
  • Visa Business

Your PIN, benefits, services and rates related to your Visa card do not change.

  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.

Until you activate your new Visa card, the old one will still work. For security reasons, however, we will be obliged to block your old Visa card on the last day of the month following the month in which you receive the new card.

So, here’s a tip, don't wait for your card to be blocked, activate your new card right now!

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.

The minimum monthly repayment required is 10% of the balance shown on your statement. This must be done by the 5th of the month following the statement.

Any reimbursement of less than 10% of the balance and/or made after the 5th of the month will generate a late fee (see extract from the tariffs).

If you have opted for an automatic refund at 100% or 10%, you only need to ensure that the current account from which your VISA statement is paid has sufficient funds on the 5th of the month.

If you have opted for a manual transfer or a fixed amount, you must ensure that the amount of the transfer is sufficient and/or that it is made before the 5th of the month following your statement.

You must then settle the balance manually via a transfer between your accounts.

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.

3D Secure

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. 

ING and the situation in Ukraine 

ING Payconiq

The change from Digicash to Payconiq is due to a technical migration. Both apps allow you to pay using your smartphone (payments to one of your contacts, a merchant, etc.), but they work slightly differently. ING has migrated its Digicash app to the new ING Payconiq app, and all local banks will soon also switch to Payconiq.

You can hide or show your account balance with a simple hand gesture. Activate this feature via your profile (top right button), Settings, "Keep your balance private".

 

Payconiq and My ING are currently still two separate apps, although the aim is to combine them in a single app to simplify your payments. We will tell you more very soon!

Payconiq now allows you to pay contacts in BeNeLux, so they need to be registered with international prefixes (+352, +32, etc.) to be visible. Also check that you only have one number saved per contact.

Ask the person to send you a payment request via a QR code: “Payments” - “Payconiq” - “Request a payment”.

Payconiq and My ING are currently still two separate apps, although the aim is to combine them in a single app to simplify your payments. You will currently find the payment history in My ING. You can use the “search” function by entering the keyword “Payconiq”. 

Some merchants have not yet migrated their codes to Payconiq. Feel free to refer them to our help desk:  contactcenter@ing.lu. You could also check that you have authorised the app to use your camera (go to your phone settings).

You cannot schedule payments. They are made as soon as you confirm them. 

Yes, all you have to do is download the free ING Payconiq app from the App Store or Google Play by using your LuxTrust mean of connection (Token or Mobile) to set up a connection with your current account.

Use Payconiq step by step

Download the ING Payconiq app and link your telephone number* to your ING account by using your LuxTrust ID.

*You must link your telephone number to your ING account to be visible and to see your contacts in the app. 

It depends since each Payconiq account is associated with a phone number and a bank account to receive payments. If you only have one phone number and you already use Payconiq via the app of another bank in Luxembourg, you must first dissociate your telephone number from your Payconiq account with the other bank. You will then be able to activate and link Payconiq to your ING accounts.

Check that telephone numbers that are not visible are registered with a prefix (+352, +33 or +32)*, and that there is only one number per contact. Your contact must also have finalised registration of their telephone number with one of their accounts to be visible. If no contacts appear in the list, the app may not be authorised to access your contact list. See next question to check this.

*Payconiq allows you to send payments to BeNeLux, so you need to register your contacts with international prefixes (+352, +33 or +32, etc.) for them to be visible.

For  iPhone, go to :

  1. Settings
  2. > Confidentiality
  3.  > Contacts 
  4. Click on ING Payconiq to allow the access to your contacts

Do the same operation for the camera.

For Android, go to :

  1. Settings 
  2. > Apps 
  3. > ING Payconiq 
  4. > Permissions 
  5. Allow Contacts and Camera for the app (these steps may vary slightly depending on your smartphone)

Note: Payconiq must be able to access your contacts and your camera. Your contact list is only accessed to check contacts already known to Payconiq and therefore eligible to receive payments. No data is recorded during that action. 

In case of other interrogations

If you encounter a problem, first try uninstalling and then reinstalling the app. 

You can contact our help desk colleagues using the email address contactcenter@ing.lu or by telephone on +352 44 99 1.
