Select your preferred digital channel
SMS, mobile app, or web?
The PIN by SMS is a cost-effective method that requires neither an internet connection nor a smartphone to deliver a PIN.
The PIN by App function is embedded within a mobile banking application to receive the PIN. Cardholders that are already familiar with an application won’t be lost when the PIN distribution by the app is offered as a new added-value service.
The PIN by Web function is integrated into a bank’s website so that the PIN can be provided online. Using the same familiar web interface makes it more convenient for end-users and also a way to help driving traffic.
PIN definition: Let your customers choose
their card PIN

PIN Definition gives the cardholders the option of defining their PIN for their new card through a mobile banking application or website. This self-select PIN option means they can pick a memorable code for their credit card. It also helps cut costs for banks as they get fewer calls to their helpdesk and fewer cards blocked.
Notification Services: track your card delivery

The Notification Services are linked to card production and based on card status. For example, this allows cardholders to be informed in real-time of the status of their card delivery with an SMS notifying them when their card has been dispatched. Banks can also leverage this service to initiate the delivery of the PIN-code to the cardholder.
A secure and certified card PIN service
The credit card PIN is the "what you have" factor and, like a signature, the key to authenticate the cardholder and to help protect him/her against fraud.
That's why the Thales Gemalto Digital PIN is a secure and certified service:
- PCI-CPP-compliant: both PCI Card Production Physical Security Requirements and PCI Card Production Logical Security Requirements
- PIN distribution via electronic methods certified by Visa, Mastercard, and various local schemes (CB, Bancomat…)
