Yes – the design of Banque Raiffeisen’s Visa credit cards has been completely refreshed:
- Visual: The new visuals are a nod to biodiversity and nature
- Contours: The cards’ contours are colourful so that you can spot them more easily in your wallet
- Quick read: All essential information (card number, cardholder’s name, expiry date, CVC/CVV code) is shown on the back of the card
- Environmentally responsible: The pledge written on the back of the card “I support action against climate change” reminds you of how you contribute, by using your card, to environmentally responsible principles
Yes. As soon as your new card is activated, it will also work in contactless mode.
To activate your card, go to an ATM or a shop/business, insert your card into the terminal and enter your PIN.
If you have an R-Net contract, your new Visa credit card will be automatically enrolled with 3D Secure. Your card will not work with 3D Secure without an R-Net contract.
- As a cardholder, you must have logged into your R-Net e-banking at least once using a LuxTrust Token or LuxTrust Mobile. If you log in with a LuxTrust Stick or Smartcard, contact your advisor. They can help you order a LuxTrust Token.
- Check if 3D Secure is active for your card. (3D Secure is a secure online credit card payment technology. Read more about 3D Secure ...). Check in your R-Net in the "Cards" tab if the status of the 3D Secure badge on your card's line says "3D Secure active". Please note that only the cardholder can check the enrollment of his own cards in his own R-Net contract.
- Check if you have made at least one transaction in a store or at an ATM by inserting your card in the terminal (with PIN entry)
If the problem persists, please contact our helpdesk and indicate the date, time and amount of the transaction.
This new range of sustainable cards, unique in Luxembourg, consists of 3 different Visa credit cards:
- Visa Classic
- Visa Gold
- Visa Platinum
Thanks to these new credit cards, you can commit to environmental causes: for every 200 transactions made using any of Banque Raiffeisen’s Visa credit cards, a tree is planted in Luxembourg or Bangladesh.
This way, all Banque Raiffeisen Visa credit card holders contribute to preserving biodiversity and combating global warming.
