6. PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

To enable the Card Holder to utilise the Card, a PIN shall be issued to the Card Holder. The PIN shall be mailed and/or personally delivered to the Card Holder on identification and the Card Holder shall ensure that the same is received in a sealed envelope. This PIN may subsequently be changed by the Card Holder at his/her own risk at any ATM that offers such a service. The security of the PIN is important and must be maintained by the Card Holder at all times.

The Card Holder (and in case of a Card issued in respect of a joint Account all joint Account holders jointly and severally) may incur liability for unauthorised use of the Card and any instruction given by means of the Card and the PIN, whether in conjunction or independently, may be deemed by the Bank at its sole and absolute discretion to be instructions given by the Card Holder. The Card Holder must ensure that s/he does not reveal the PIN to any third party and takes adequate precautions to prevent anyone else seeing his/her PIN being entered in at an ATM or POS Terminal. It is recommended that the Card Holder memorize his/her PIN and then destroy any record of it.
