The Mastercard-branded card that replaces your Maestro-branded card has a different number. That means you’ll need to see to it that your new number is used if you:
- have given an online shop permission to save your card’s number
- have a subscription linked to your card
- use Apple Pay, Google Pay, Garmin Pay or Fitbit Pay
Your Mastercard-branded KBC Brussels Debit Card has a Card Verification Code (CVC) you have to enter, along with your card’s number and expiry date, each time you make an online purchase with Mastercard. You never need to enter your CVC when buying something using Bancontact.
You can keep using your card until it expires, after which you’ll automatically receive a new Mastercard-branded KBC Brussels Debit Card.
If your card is defective or has been blocked by Card Stop, you’ll likewise receive a new Mastercard-branded card.
An amount is reserved when a transaction is already known but still has to be processed. The amount concerned is deducted from the available balance on your account.
Amounts are often pre-authorised when you refuel or make payments with Mastercard or Maestro. If amounts have been reserved, they appear at the top of your list of transactions and have an ‘R’ beside them.
Amounts remain on temporary hold for a few days at most. Exceptionally, though, an amount can remain reserved as a security deposit for 30 days or longer. Once the payments have been processed, they will appear in your list of transactions. You can see how long amounts are on temporary hold in KBC Brussels Mobile or KBC Brussels Touch. If you want to avoid them, you should pay with your credit card or prepaid card.
