Card Security

Your PIN

You will be issued with your own Redicard or Visa Card which is forwarded to you after receiving your personal identification number (PIN). Every time you use your Redicard or Visa Card you will be required to enter in your PIN in order to prove that you are the owner. It is therefore very important that your PIN is memorised and not stored with your card for security.
