Personal Identification Number (PIN)


The Personal Identification Number is a multiple digit number (usually four figures) which you will be given to allow you to identify yourself when using a credit or debit card to get cash out of an ATM .

Card issuers advise holders to keep the PIN separate from the card itself for security reasons.
