PIN

Meaning

is your secret numerical password for secu rity.


Example : 

For example, entering a 4-digit ATM PIN to withdraw cash, using a UPI PIN to transfer money through a payment app, or applying a SIM PIN to secure your mobile SIM card.


How to Understand : 

1. A PIN adds an important layer of security to protect your financial assets.
2. It is crucial to keep your PIN private and not share it with anyone.

4. Using a PIN is generally faster than entering a password since it consists only of numbers.


Importance :

1. It safeguards your bank account and digital payment methods from unauthorized transactions.
2. A PIN verifies that the individual making the transaction is authorized to do so.
3. It helps prevent fraud, even if your card or mobile phone is lost or stolen.
4. PINs are commonly used in ATMs, UPI transactions, digital wallets, point-of-sale machines, and for securing SIM cards.
