Order CARO for my client and track the status via MyCodaBox |
Order
Via MyCodaBox > CLIENT MANDATES & SERVICES > CARO you will find a list of all clients who are eligible for this Service, i.e. clients who already have an active CODA Service with a bank that supports CARO.
- Go to MyCodaBox, MANDATES & SERVICES CLIENT - CARO and select the concerned client.
Click Manage in the Action column and New CARO order in the next screen - In the New CARO Order screen, first select the supported CARO Bank. Based on your selection, you will either need to enter a telephone number (3a) or the IBAN linked to the credit card (3b).
- Enter the Client Reference*, the cardholder's e-mail address AND:
- His mobile phone
- His IBAN that is linked to the credit card – only when KBC or CBC is selected
The information entered in the form above is verified by a data entry check. An error message is displayed if the information is not correct. The * indicates a mandatory field and by moving the cursor over the i you can access more information.
On the client's side?
When you invite your client to use CARO, our system automatically generates for the client :
- An invitation e-mail
- For KBC/CBC: Instructions to activatee CARO in the respective KBC apps
- For other banks: An activation link* to activate the CARO Service
- A reminder e-mail (a few days before the invitation expires if it has not yet been confirmed by the client) with the same activation link*.
➜ *Please note that for security reasons, this activation link is only valid for 14 days.
My order status
Via MyCodaBox > CLIENT MANDATES & SERVICES > CARO > you can track the status of the CARO orders you have performed:
The order status is 'Invitation expired'?
If you see that the order status is 'Invitation Expired', don't hesitate to resend the invitation. Before re-sending, it is recommended to check if your client has received the e-mail and why he didn’t proceed with the activation.
Keeping your clients well informed is important. You can find some template e-mails in our CARO information package /Toolkit for the accountant.
Filter clients by CARO service registration status
In MyCodaBox > CLIENT MANDATES & SERVICES > CARO, you can apply a filter to display all eligible clients by type of registration state

Checks to be performed in MyCodaBox | Solution |
Does the client reference belong to a bank that supports CARO? | If the client reference doesn’t belong to a bank that supports CARO: we are working on adding more banks. |
Does the client reference contain typos? | If the client reference contains errors, you have to create a new CARO order, because the client reference field cannot be changed. |
Does the client reference belong to the "correct" client? | There is a mismatch between the client and the client reference. Deactivate CARO for this Client reference and create a new CARO order, using the correct Client/Client Reference combination. |
Does the client reference belong to another card holder from the same client? | Edit the card holder data (e-mail and mobile phone number) to match/address the correct cardholder who needs to give his consent. |
Are the client reference and card holder details correct? | If yes, check with your client/cardholder to see if he/she uses other business cards, and invite him/her to use the card that matches the credit card statement to agree to the CARO Service. |
Is the Client Reference linked to a new card not yet activated or blocked? | If this is a new card: Check with your client whether it has already been inserted into a Bancontact terminal or shop terminal (not contactless) so that the system does not recognize it as new. If not a new card: Check with your client whether the card or the contract has been blocked. |

The FORMAT of the client reference is not valid
The client reference can be found on the client's credit card statement. It consists of 10 digits, starting with 6 or 7. Example: 6123456789 or 7123456789.
Tips: You can also click the small icon i to get more information.
The cardholder reference number I entered is incorrect
Although input checking prevents the use of erroneous client references, it may happen that a Fiduciary mixes up client data and enters another client's reference when ordering the Service.
Invitation sent : Adapt the cardholder's details
Note: The Client Reference field is a non-editable field. If you want to adapt this information, in the CARO order screen, click Deactivate CARO for the concerned client reference and Deactivate CARO in the next screen.
