Your card has a personal identification number (PIN) in order to provide you with enhanced security features. By entering your PIN, you are validating that you are the authorized user of the card.

Yes, all cardholders can select their own PIN. The primary cardholder's information is used to authenticate the caller. You will identify which cardholder you are by entering your first name into the telephone keypad. You will then be prompted to select your unique PIN. If you do not know the primary cardholder's date of birth (mm/yy), zip code or 3-digit security code, the system will be unable to authenticate the caller and will not transfer you to a representative due to security reasons. You will need to call back once you have the required information in hand.

To change your PIN, please call 888-886-0083. Be prepared with the primary cardholder's date of birth (mm/yy), zip code, and 3-digit security code from the back signature panel of the card. We encourage you to change the PIN to something easy to remember but difficult for others to identify.

Please call 888-886-0083 in order to reset your Mastercard credit card PIN.

• A legitimate fraud representative will never ask for your social security number or your full credit card account number.
• You may also go online to your account and check for any recent unusual activity.
