1. First activate the local bank. First, you can bring your valid ID, credit card and password letter to the counter of the local ICBC branch to open and activate the card. If you pick up the card at the local ICBC Credit Card Center (not by mail), you can open the card on the spot. This method can only be used after applying. The credit card can only be opened normally at the local ICBC counter, but cannot be opened at branches in other places.

2. Secondly, call customer service to activate. Secondly, the cardholder uses the phone number and mobile phone number filled in when applying for a credit card to access the ICBC customer service hotline to open the card.

3. Finally, online banking is activated. Log in to personal online banking from the official website of ICBC, enter "Peony Card Activation" under "Bank Card Services", enter the card number, card validity period, cardholder name, ID number and other relevant information and click the OK button to activate.
