The card number is a unique code that ABN AMRO has linked to your debit card. It is not the number that is printed on your debit card, nor is it your IBAN. It is a 19-digit number starting with 6734 000x xxxx xxxx xxx. In the future, this card number will also be printed on the back of your debit card. The wearable supplier needs your card number to link the wearable to your current account. This is done in a secure environment, so your supplier cannot see your card number.
Log in to Internet Banking or the ABN AMRO app to get your personal card number. .
The digital debit card on a wearable has a validity period of three years. This means that you can pay using your wearable for up to three years after you made the purchase.
