Do you have a credit card? For payment at cashiers, are you still using a signature? This is why you should activate your credit card PIN and make transactions using a PIN.
Reasons why you should activate credit card PIN
Here’s why:
- Starting from 1 July 2020, all credit card transactions must use a PIN. So, guys, while there is still enough time, let’s activate your credit card PIN and start using a PIN to make transactions using a credit card before PIN becomes mandatory.
- When you travel overseas, in several countries it is mandatory for credit card transactions to use a PIN. Activate your PIN now before you cannot use your credit card.
Why did BI require PIN in every credit card transaction starting 1 July 2020?
- In Indonesia, merchants’ cashiers sometimes do not verify cardholders’ signatures.
- When PIN becomes mandatory, there will be less risk of your credit card being misused by other people if you lose your card because the PIN is only known by the cardholders.
So, activate your credit card PIN and make it a habit to make transactions using your 6-digit PIN starting now!
