To make your PIN more secure:
  • Don’t select a PIN that uses your birth date, or an alphabetical or numeric code, which is a recognisable part of your name or address.
  • Don’t select a PIN which has sequential numbers, e.g. ‘1234’ or where all numbers are the same, e.g. ‘1111’.
  • Select a PIN that’s easily remembered only to you, without needing to write it down.
For your security, never:
  1. Write down or record your PIN or PIN change reference number.
  2. Save your PIN to a mobile phone, computer, organiser or other device.
  3. Write down or record a disguised PIN, for example, by reversing the numbers.

If your card or PIN is lost or stolen, please notify us immediately.
