Tips for Setting a Secure Debit Card PIN

• Avoid obvious combinations: Refrain from using easily guessable PINs such as 1234, 0000, 1111, or your birth year. Hackers and fraudsters often try these first.
• Use a unique PIN: Ensure your ATM PIN is different from other security codes you use, such as your phone passcode or online banking password.
• Change your PIN regularly: Update your PIN every 3-6 months to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
• Do not share your PIN: Never share your ATM PIN with anyone, including family members, friends, or even bank officials. Banks will never ask for your PIN.
• Memorize your PIN: Avoid writing your PIN down or storing it in digital notes. If you must note it somewhere, use a disguised format that only you can understand.
• Be cautious when entering your PIN: Always cover the keypad with your hand when entering your PIN at an ATM or POS terminal to prevent shoulder surfing.
• Enable transaction alerts: Activate SMS or email notifications for ATM transactions to monitor any unauthorized access to your account.
• Use secure ATMs: Prefer ATMs located in well-lit, secure areas such as bank branches rather than standalone kiosks in isolated places.
• Avoid using public Wi-Fi for PIN changes: If you're changing your PIN via mobile banking or internet banking, use a secure and private connection to avoid potential cyber threats.
• Immediately report lost or stolen cards: If your ATM or debit card is lost or stolen, block it immediately and reset the PIN once you receive a new card.
