Things happen, don’t they? Anyone can lose their card or have it stolen. If it happens to you, don’t worry. You won’t be liable for any fraudulent charges. |
| Pick a new PIN |
Want a new PIN because your current one is difficult to remember or you think someone else knows what it is? You can change it to something more memorable at any ATM. |
| Unsurpassed Global Acceptance |
No other card is more widely accepted around the world. Wherever you go, you’ll be able to use it in-store, online and at 2 million ATMs. It’s the card you really can take anywhere. |
| Chargeback |
If you buy faulty goods, don’t get the service you paid for, become a victim of fraud, didn’t authorise a purchase, or a company goes bust before they’ve sent you the goods you’ve ordered, you could get your money back provided you claim within 120 days of your purchase. |

Before being bound by a credit agreement, we are obliged to provide you with a standardised information document called the Standard European Consumer Credit Information (‘SECCI’) form. It is designed to give you the best overview of the key information and terms and conditions of any credit agreement you consider, allowing you to compare the offers of different credit providers and select the credit offer that works best for you. The SECCI contains important details such as: the type of credit, amount and costs of credit, the Annual Percentage Rate (APR), the number and frequency of payments, as well as a note on important legal aspects.
The Standard European Consumer Credit Information form for the KBC Credit Card can be found above under the Forms section.
