PIN (Personal Identification Number)

A Personal Identification Number (PIN) is a secret code used to verify your identity when accessing financial accounts or services. Typically consisting of 4 to 6 digits, it helps ensure that only authorized individuals can use your cards or accounts. You enter your PIN at ATMs, point-of-sale terminals, or online platforms to confirm your identity quickly and securely. Protecting your PIN is essential to prevent unauthorized access or fraud. Think of it as a digital password that, when kept private, safeguards your money and personal information.
