How do I keep my PIN secure?

It is very important that you keep your PIN secret so that your card is protected against lost and stolen card fraud.
Measures to keep your PIN safe include:

  • Ensure your PIN is not easy to guess by avoiding numbers that can be associated with you such as:
    - Significant personal dates e.g. Anniversary or Birth dates, months or years in any form or combination;
    - Sequential numbers (such as 345678) and easily identifiable number combinations (such as 111111);
    - Any of the blocks of numbers printed on your card;
    - Other easily accessible personal numbers such as parts of personal telephone numbers, identity card number, or other personal data.
  • Do not keep a written record of your PIN;
  • Do not allow another person to see your PIN when you enter it;
  • Do not keep your PIN in a form that can be readily identified as a PIN;
  • Do not disclose your PIN to any other person (including persons in apparent authority, family members or spouse);
  • Do not negligently or recklessly disclose your PIN;
  • Change your PIN immediately if you become aware that your PIN has become known to someone else
