After receiving the ICBC credit card, it needs to be activated, otherwise it cannot be used normally. Specific activation methods are as follows:

1. Online activation:

Cardholders can log in to ICBC official website (/icbc/), click on the "Credit Card" column, select "Credit Card Activation", then enter the credit card number, name, ID number and other information, and finally click OK to set a password to activate the credit card.

2. Business hall outlets are enabled:

Cardholders can activate at ICBC's offline business outlets by presenting their ID cards, credit cards and password letters.

3. Customer service phone activation:

Cardholders can dial the customer service number 95588 of China Industrial and Commercial Bank Credit Card Center with their mobile phones, follow the voice prompts and select "Chinese service", "credit card service", "card application inquiry or card activation" and "card activation", and then enter the card number of the credit card and your ID number on the mobile phone to activate the credit card.
