Personal Identification Number (PIN) is a unique 4 digit number which helps a credit card holder to access the ATM to withdraw the money. This number is computer generated and not even the bank staff know it. Once it is generated, it is direclty sent to the credit card holder directly to his address.
This number should be kept confidential to prevent its misuse. Hence, a card holder is strongly advised to keep this number in his mind, i.e., to keep in his memory and not write it down either in a wall calander or in a diary because any one can have access to it.
It would be better for the card holder to change this password, as it is called in lay man's language, often to prevent its misuse by others.
To safeguard the interests of the credit card holder, now-a-days bio-metric ATMs are being pressed into service, which will capture the unique thumb impressions of card holders to identify it later.
