When Access Isn't Smooth
⚠️ Forgotten Password
Cause: You cannot recall your login password for the Klantenzone.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. The quickest way to regain access is to click the 'Forgot your password?' link on the login page. Follow the instructions to reset your password, usually involving an email verification or security questions.
⚠️ Account Creation Issues
Cause: Difficulty creating a new account despite having the necessary identification numbers (customer, contract, AssurCard, or claim number).
Solution: Ensure you are using the correct and up-to-date identification numbers. If the issue persists, the Ethias helpdesk can assist. They are reachable via [email protected] for corporate accounts, and general inquiries can be routed via their contact forms or phone numbers provided on the website.
⚠️ Document Access Problems (PDFs not opening)
Cause: PDF documents like invoices or policies are not displaying correctly after clicking on them.
Solution: Sometimes, browser pop-up blockers or security software can interfere. Check your browser settings to ensure pop-ups are allowed for www.ethias.be and https://securemyethias.ethias.be. Alternatively, you can often right-click the PDF icon and choose 'Save Link As...' or 'Save Target As...' to download the document and open it locally.
⚠️ Electronic Invoice Payment Status Discrepancy
Cause: Zoomit or My Ethias shows an invoice as 'To be processed' even after payment.
Solution: The status in Zoomit is mainly for your information. To confirm actual payment, always check your bank account statements. If you paid via a method other than directly through Zoomit (e.g., manual bank transfer), the status might not update automatically. You can manually adjust the status within Zoomit if your bank supports this feature.
