Protect Your PIN

How to keep your PIN out of the wrong hands

If your Citi™ MasterCard® is ever lost or stolen, someone else could access your account - if they know your PIN (Personal Identification Number). That's why it's so important that you NEVER keep your PIN where others can access it. (For example: wallet or home office).

Here are some other tips for keeping your PIN safe:

  • Change your PIN each time you get a new Citi MasterCard
  • Call Customer Care IMMEDIATELY if your card is ever lost or stolen
  • Change your PIN if you feel that someone else might know it
  • Select a PIN that's easy for you to remember - but hard for others
  • Never write your PIN anywhere, or send it in an email
  • Always shield you PIN when you enter it.
