The banking entity reminds its customers of the importance of activating their cards before using them.
Bank cards have become one of the most used payment methods by BBVA customers and other financial entities. Their convenience and speed allow for purchases in physical stores with a simple contact and secure online transactions. However, many users are unaware that before they can use them, they must complete an essential step: activating them.
BBVA has issued a notice reminding that after receiving a new or renewed card, it arrives deactivated for security reasons. Without activation, it is not possible to make purchases or withdraw money from ATMs.
How to activate your BBVA card
BBVA offers several options for its customers to easily activate their cards. At ATMs, you just need to insert the card into any of the more than 4,500 ATMs in the BBVA network, enter the provided PIN code, and the card will be automatically activated. Afterwards, you can change the assigned PIN to one of your preference.
If you prefer to carry out the activation through the mobile application, it is also very simple. You just need to click on "Activate or deactivate card." In addition to activation, the application allows you to manage various card-related operations, such as turning it off or on in case of loss or theft, blocking it, requesting a new one, among other operations.
In the case of the BBVA website, you must access your account and go to the "Cards" section. There, select the activation option and enter the corresponding PIN code.
If, on the other hand, you prefer to activate your card via phone, call the toll-free number 900 102 801. You must identify yourself using your online banking details and follow the instructions provided to complete the activation.
Benefits of the BBVA app
The BBVA app not only facilitates card activation but also offers multiple functionalities for comprehensive financial management. You can view detailed information about your accounts and cards or perform operations such as mobile recharges. It is also possible to change the card's payment method, increase or modify the credit limit, and send money between cards.
Additionally, it provides the option to turn the card off or on according to your needs, which provides additional control in case of loss or theft.
