If the card will be in use outside of the Polish country it will be blocked "with security reasons" cause they think that then the card might be stolen as the card is mentioned to be used in Poland.
Sounds me incredible for 2 reasons:
1) a polish citizen is free to travel outside poland and moreover I believe this cards are meant almost for being used for travelling (to pay shops/restaurants/hotel) *
2) mine seems ok, have used always outside poland and have used many cards....
Do you think they unlock some card number "series" related to some specific reseller?
*you could say, "yes indeed in case they get locked in that situation they can easily unlock by going to bank branch" so a polish "traveller" risks to stay without money when is abroad because card can be easily locked?! Crazy
It is crazy and I don't understand why they are doing that
It is crazy. Indeed card might be used in other countries but then your card might get blocked.
Also if some ATM was compromised they will block all of the cards which were used in that ATM.
I must say - I was calling mBank 10 times and I get 10 different answers.
I was in a branch 4 times and I get 4 different answers.
But the card which was in my hands is unblocked and they told me that the only way to unblock it is by registering the card online and bring it with your ID to the mBank's branch.
This is sick and I don't know any more answers and I won't do anything more as I don't know what else can I do
I tried my best and they told me when I asked them about what other people need to do to unblock their cards - they told me only what I already told you... Register and visit the mBank's branch (and not all of them, only main branches)
Regards.
