You can unblock your card directly in Accountable, then reactivate it at any ATM. Follow the three steps below.<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/p>\n

Step 1: Log in to Accountable<\/h1>\n

To unblock your card, log in to Accountable, either the app or the web version.<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/p>\n

Step 2: Unblock your card<\/h1>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Go to Settings<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Go to Bank settings<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Select your card<\/b> (physical or virtual, depending on which one is blocked).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Tap Unblock<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Your card is now unblocked.<\/p>\n

    \u200b<\/p>\n

    Step 3: Reactivate your card at an ATM (physical card only)<\/h1>\n

    To complete the process for a physical card:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Insert your card into any ATM<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      Enter your correct PIN<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Your virtual card can still be used for online payments<\/b> while the physical card is blocked.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \u200b<\/p>\n

        Key takeaways<\/h1>\n
          \n
        • \n

          Three incorrect PIN attempts at an ATM or payment terminal will block your physical card.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Unblock your card in Accountable via Settings<\/b> > Bank settings<\/b> > select your card > Unblock<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          After unblocking in Accountable, reactivate a physical card by inserting it into any ATM and entering the correct PIN. No withdrawal needed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Your virtual card remains available for online payments while your physical card is blocked.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
