Why?The Banks will save a fortune when the customers start using these cards.
PIN Security
By the end of 2004 most full-service ATMs in Ireland will offer PIN management services. This will mean that at these ATMs you will be able to change your PIN if you think it may have been compromised, or simply to change it to an easier to remember 4-digit number of your choice.
Is there anything to stop you holding the password sent by text on your mobile until the next time you get onto your Internet connection?security feature were Vodafone because of their idiotic system where you can only register for offers, website services etc. if you have BOTH a mobile phone signal and and Internet connection in the same place at the same time since they will only issue passwords by text.
Internet email is not secure or private. ROS send out their security codes by snail mail, not email.Apparently this is a security feature as email cannot be relied upon (strange, someone should tell the people at ROS that...).
But the authorisation code on the signed strip on the reverse of the card generally does these days as I mentioned earlier. Another protection against fraudulent use.
