Your PIN code
Please note of the following key security tips for your PIN code:- Do not use birthdays, car registration numbers, addresses, or telephone numbers as your PIN code. These can be guessed too easily and will make fraudulent use of your card more likely.
- Always keep your PIN separate from your card.
- Never give your PIN to third parties (including online).
- If you have forgotten your PIN code, you can apply for a new code from our Customer Service department.
You can find further information on the PIN code in the Chip & PIN section.

- Double check the merchant's website address.
- If your card has been debited, but you have not received the product or service, please inform the Customer Service department in writing within 30 days.
Card security numbers
The card security numbers are features of credit cards that hinder the use of falsified and/or stolen credit card details and therefore help prevent credit card fraud on the internet. The request to supply this number is a security measure that is designed to confirm the physical presence of the card when the holder is making a payment on the internet.
| Bonviva VISA and Bonviva MasterCard credit cards have a three-digit security number on the reverse of the card. This is not saved on the magnetic strip or the chip and cannot be derived from the credit card number. | Bonviva American Express credit cards have a four-digit security number on the front side of the card. This is not saved on the magnetic strip or the chip and cannot be derived from the credit card number. |
