    4. What can you do in BT VISUAL HELP?

    Through the BT Visual Help platform, users will be able to set transaction limits on bank-issued cards, as well as temporarily block or permanently block the cards. Following the action of permanently blocking the card, a user can request, from the BT Visual Help platform, its reissuance, a request based on which they will receive, at the chosen BT unit, a new card that will replace the permanently blocked one.

    A. Temporarily or permanently block the cards and request reissuance of the permanently blocked cards

    The user is offered the possibility to block any card issued on accounts opened at BT in their name, as an individual account holder. In the case of legal entities, only the legal representative is the user who is offered the possibility to block any card issued on the company's accounts opened at BT. Also, for cards permanently blocked from the platform, the platform user can initiate the card reissue request.

    Temporary blocking a cardului – will allow the user to temporarily block the card.

    By temporary blocking is meant the action by which the status of a card is changed, resulting in its temporary restriction. A temporarily blocked card can be unblocked in one of the following ways:

    • calling the BT Call Center service or
    • in any BT unit.

    Permanent blocking a cardului – the user can permanently block the card.

    Once the operation is confirmed, the user will no longer be able to use/unlock it, requiring a request for a new card at any time at BT units or directly from the platform (only if the user chooses to request this, as a continuation of the card blocking action).

    By permanent blocking is meant the action as a result of which the status of a card is changed, resulting in its cancellation. The permanently blocked card can no longer be used or unblocked, requiring a request for a new card.

    Card reissuance – will allow the user to request a new card, which they will pick up from the chosen BT unit, replacing the card permanently blocked through the platform. The fee related to reissuing is displayed to the user at the time of receiving the request, who has the option either to complete the reissue or to cancel if they disagree with the cost associated with the reissue (in which case they can access the card list or the main menu).

    The request for card reissuance is available in the BT Visual Help platform only if initiated by the user following the action of permanently blocking the card. Based on this request, the user will receive a new card at the chosen BT branch, which will replace the permanently blocked one.

    In case, after the permanent blocking of the card from the platform, the user does not choose to submit the card reissue request (as a continuation of the blocking action), this request will not be available later on the platform, for the respective card (permanently blocked). In this case, the user can request a new card that replaces the permanently blocked card, by calling the Call Center service or at BT units.

    B. Modify the daily transaction limits related to cards

    The user is offered the possibility to modify the daily transaction limits related to the cards issued on the accounts held at BT, as the account holder, an individual person. In the case of legal entities, only the legal representative of the company is the user who is offered the possibility to modify the daily transaction limits related to the cards issued on the company's accounts held at BT.

    Modification of transaction limits can be made in the direction of increasing or decreasing the ceilings, for transactions at ATM, POS, Internet or the number of daily transactions.
