Should I ever give my PIN online or over the phone?

No.

You should only use your PIN in a cash machine or in a Chip and PIN machine, for example when making a purchase in a shop.

To pay for things over the phone, online or via mail order, you should only need:

  1. Your long card number on the front of your card
  2. Your card’s expiry date and (possibly) start date
  3. Your security code (the three-digit code on the signature strip, on the back of your card)
