Means of payments*
Using a debit card in France
Whether you use it for purchases or for withdrawing money, your bank card will prove useful both in France and abroad. You should be aware that cards do not work in the same way as in other countries.
With these debit cards, as soon as you make payments or withdrawals, it is immediately debited from your account. You must always ensure that you have enough provision in your account before you debit it or you will have charges to pay for the overdraft.
Once the card is ordered it usually takes around 10 days to arrive at your legal address. The 4 figures pin number will also be sent to your legal address by post one or two days before or after your card. In order to activate your card, you need to enter the pin number in a cash point or in a shop.(You cannot activate a card by using it the first time on the internet, for example, as you do not enter the pin).
In case of theft or loss: the emergency telephone number for reporting a lost or stolen debit card or chequebook:
If you are in France is: 01 77 86 24 24
If you call from abroad: 0033 254 546 724
If your card was stolen then you also need to report it to the police.
Upgraded debit card: Visa Premier
To access services and insurances without any frontier
This debit card will allow you:
• Higher withdrawal and payment possibilities than a classic card.
• Insurance and assistance for all your travelling (Repatriation, medical assistance for you and your family when travelling together or separately, car rental insurance, cover against cancellation/interruption of your holiday, cover against flight or luggage delays, cover in case of theft or loss of your card…)
• Skiing cover: help and search expenses, public liability, ski pass refund, damage to skis… You and your family are covered for all your mountain activities!
• Many other Privileges: “Premier Voyages” and “Premier Spectacles” agencies will help you to organise your holidays and your leisure activities (preferential prices for hotels, car rental and flights, exclusive offers for holidays/short stays and week-end trips, instant telephone bookings to all shows in Paris and throughout the country).
This debit card means substantial savings for you as you do not have to take an insurance policy out every time you travel as long as you pay your holiday (journey and staying) with the VISA PREMIER card.
