How does Chip & PIN work?
Your credit or debit card has a chip in it, which helps boost your card security.
The chip uses sophisticated processing to identify genuine cards and makes counterfeiting more complex and expensive.
How it works
When you’ve entered your PIN, special technology checks it against the PIN held on the chip.
