chip&PIN Campaign (2006-2007)

The Interbank Card Center/ chip&PIN Campaign
The chip&PIN method, which provides PIN protection for credit card payments, is now available in Turkey!

Thechip&PIN is a new payment method that minimizes the risk of credit card fraud by preventing counterfeiting and the use of lost or stolen cards. The technology involves a computer chip that is embedded in the card, providing protection from copying. The four-digit PIN (personal identification number) prevents others from using the card in the event of loss or theft.

Banks have started issuing chip-embedded credit cards and PINs to their customers. Starting on March 31, 2006, customers with credit cards that have embedded chips will be required to enter their four-digit PIN (personal identification number), to receive approval for their payments.chip&PIN technology will usher in a whole new level of security in credit card shopping.
