Debit card broken or swallowed by an ATM
If your debit card no longer works at ATMs, or an ATM has swallowed it, we understand that this is both worrisome and inconvenient for you. Luckily, you can request a replacement card right away. And you can do it yourself in the app or on Internet Banking in no time at all.
My debit card is broken
If your debit card does not work at an ATM it may be broken, but it could also be due to a problem with the ATM. Try this:
- Take your card out of the ATM.
- Give the chip a good, quick swipe, as dirt and grease can sometimes stop the ATM form being able to read the chip properly.
- Insert the card again.
If your card does not work at several ATMs it is probably broken.
An ATM has swallowed my card
You try to withdraw cash, but the ATM swallows your debit card. It doesn't happen very often, but it's very inconvenient when it happens to you. An ATM will generally swallow a card because:
- the card is registered as stolen in our system
- there is a suspicion of fraud
- there is a technical error in the ATM
A swallowed card will not be returned by the ATM.

No debit card for now? Here’s how you can still pay
Withdrawing cash without a debit card
• Do you have the ABN AMRO app? And do you use Apple Pay or Google Pay? Then you can withdraw cash without a card at ATMs with the NFC logo.
• If you still have a debit card for another account, transfer money to that account using the ABN AMRO app. Or transfer money to someone else’s account and have them withdraw cash for you.
Paying with your mobile or smart watch
Your iPhone, Android phone or smart watch offers you a quick and easy way to pay contactless anytime, without a debit card. It works exactly the same as contactless payments with your card. Simply hold your phone or smart watch up to the payment terminal.
Using a credit card
You can also make payments or withdraw cash with a credit card, even when you’re abroad. Please note that withdrawing cash with your credit card costs at least €4.50 per withdrawal.
After receiving your debit card
You can activate your debit card:
- by paying in a shop using your debit card and PIN
- by checking your balance at a Geldmaat ATM
- by withdrawing money
Once you have activated your new card, you can cut your old card in two and throw it away.
