ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Dynamic Card Solutions, the providers of instant card issuing technology, said yesterday it is launching an easyPIN solution that allows portable and remote changing of cardholder's PINs.
By utilizing DCS' new software-based easyPIN solution and associated unconnected smart card readers, issuers can now offer their cardholders the freedom to perform PIN management from their home, office or anywhere the customer has access to a web browser or telephone.
Cardholders typically need to change their PINs because they either cannot remember a randomly assigned PIN, they want to use one PIN across multiple cards, or they have entered the wrong PIN multiple times and their card is now blocked. Traditional PIN management methods require cardholders to physically go to their financial institution's chip-enabled ATM to change their PIN. With DCS' easyPIN, issuers do not need any brick and mortar branch or ATM location to achieve the PIN change or card unblock.
DCS' easyPIN makes use of an Internet or phone connection and a small unconnected handheld smart card reader that is issued by their financial institution. Cardholders can simply insert their card into the smart card reader and follow the instructions that prompt them to change their PIN. This can be done through the online banking website, interactive voice response support, or an optical interface.
