• Choose a number that is easy to remember. However, it should not be easy for anyone else to guess. For example, the date of purchasing your house or your dog’s birthday.
• Select a 4 letter word that you cannot forget. Then use your mobile’s keypad to see what number it translates into. For instance, if you choose the word ‘home’, it will translate to 4663. 
• Use math tricks to change an easy PIN. For example, if you choose your birthday, you can add your lucky number to each digit. 
• Never choose your own or your kids’ birthdays as passwords.

The credit card PIN is an important element of your credit card. Once you generate a credit card PIN, it becomes crucial to ensure its proper usage and safety. You must keep in mind the following things to avoid the misuse of your credit card:

• Never share the credit card details through SMS, emails, Whatsapp, calls, etc.
• Make sure your card is swiped in your presence. This prevents it from being misused through skimming. Skimming enables duplication of your credit card details using a skimming device.
• Always make transactions on authentic and secure websites.
• Never save your credit card information on any shopping portal or merchant website.
• Never write down your credit card PIN on the back of your card or a piece of paper.
• Go through your credit card details and statements every month to ensure that your money is not being misused. 
• Get your credit card replaced if you used it in a high-risk country.
• Do not share your credit card PIN with anyone, even if they claim to represent the bank. The bank never asks for such information on call or email.
• Never give a copy of the front and back of your card to anyone for any reason.
