Green PIN Initiative at SBI

  • When issuing debit or credit cards, most banks, both public and private, issue a PIN that allows the card to be used at ATMs and POS terminals. PIN mailers have been the most popular delivery method for debit and credit card PINs since banks began providing them. Scratch-off panels on the mailers conceal the PIN while also revealing any tampering efforts.
  • PIN mailers are often sent via postal service or courier to the cardholder's address. Some banks have recently begun providing PINs directly to consumers by including them in the welcome package. If a cardholder has to update his or her PIN for whatever reason, he or she must visit a bank branch and submit an ATM PIN regeneration request.
  • Even while using PIN mailers to deliver an ATM or debit card PIN is the most popular banking practice, it comes with its own set of risks and fees. Bank staff must keep physical possession of ATM PINs, postal delivery may be delayed, banks must send a new PIN if the PIN mailer is broken or tampered with during transit, banks must pay extra postal and stationery costs, and clients must visit bank locations for PIN regeneration.

Frequently asked questions

What is the significance of the name "Green PIN"?

SBI's green push to go paperless includes the Green PIN. Previously, PINs were printed on paper and sent along with the debit card to registered addresses. However, to save paper, that has now been replaced. Because the PIN is sent online, it saves paper and lowers the carbon footprint, earning it the moniker "Green PIN."
