Set an unpredictable(not guessable) PIN:- The PIN of your debit/credit card should not be easily guessable. So, avoid using your date of birth as the PIN or last 4 digits of your phone number as the PIN, etc. to increase privacy. Set a PIN that is not easy to guess and memorize it. Don't write it down anywhere except a location where you are fully sure that it will remain secure. Try to change the PIN time to time to add extra security.

Nowadays it's very easy to do that - You can set your new ATM PIN in any ATM machine by following just 2 steps-

1. Generate OTP 

2. Set the new ATM PIN 
..and it's done.

Two-factor authentication is a must: While doing any online transaction(payment), a two-factor authentication ensures notification on your registered mobile number each time your card is in use. An OTP will be generated and sent to your mobile, which needs to be entered in order to complete a transaction. If you receive any text or notification on your mobile without trying to log in, you should inform the bank immediately.

Swipe your card carefully: Watch out for skimmers at ATMs before you swipe your card. It will just take a few seconds to notice if any skimmer is there or not. Look for the area where you swipe your card, if you notice any loose or unusual part then avoid using that ATM machine.
