> If you choose to collect your Nickel Classic card from a Nickel point of sale: 

- You will receive a 5-digit code by text message. 
- Go to the tobacconist or Nickel point of sale of your choice with: 

• your 5-digit code (valid for 30 days)
• your identity document
• €25 to pay for your card

In less than 5 minutes, you'll get your Mastercard and your IBAN. You'll also receive an SMS with your card PIN code, which you can use straight away. 

> If you choose to receive your Nickel Classic card at home or if you opt for a My Nickel, Nickel Chrome or Nickel Metal card:

You can just relax at home while your card is sent by post. In the meantime, you can log on to your Customer Area to fund your account or make transfers, for example.

As soon as you receive your card, you can activate it via your Customer Area or Nickel App. 
You will also receive your PIN code directly by text message.

At a Nickel point of sale

Bring your ID and a phone.

Go to the Nickel point of your choice and ask for a Nickel card (€25).

The shopkeeper will give you proof that you have opened an account with your bank details. You will receive the PIN code for your Mastercard by text message. You can use your card immediately.

Once you have your Nickel Classic card, you can change your card offer to My Nickel, Nickel Chrome or Nickel Metal directly from your Nickel Customer Area or Nickel application.
