How to activate your ICBC overseas withdrawal

To activate overseas withdrawal on your ICBC debit card, you have two main options depending on your location and account type:

🌐 Option 1: Activate via ICBC Online or Mobile Banking

If you’re registered for ICBC’s online or mobile banking services, you can activate international withdrawal by:

1. Log in to your ICBC online banking or mobile app.
2. Navigate to Card Services or Security Settings.
3. Look for Overseas Usage or International Withdrawal Activation.
4. Enable the feature and set a withdrawal limit if required.
5. Confirm with SMS verification or OTP (One-Time Password).

🏦 Option 2: Visit an ICBC Branch

If online activation isn’t available or you prefer in-person service:

1. Go to your nearest ICBC branch.
2. Bring your ICBC debit card and a valid ID (passport or national ID).
3. Request to activate international withdrawal.
4. Fill out any required forms and sign the authorization.
5. Set or confirm your PIN for overseas transactions.
6. You may receive a confirmation receipt once activation is complete.

✅ Final Step: Test the Activation

Try using your card at an overseas ATM or POS terminal to ensure it works. Make sure the ATM supports UnionPay, CUP, or Cirrus, depending on your card type.
