VISA HAS LAUNCHED A NEW INITIATIVE FOR ALL VSIA CARD HOLDERS CALLED “PEN OR PIN”

You may have noticed changes when using your MCU Visa Debit card in participating shops since early June.

You are now given the choice of verifying your purchases by entering your Personal Identification Number (PIN) when you press the “credit” button or you can continue to sign as you have always done.

Previously, when you used your MCU Visa Debit card to pay for something at a shop, you pressed “credit” and signed to accept the transaction.

Participating shops are now able to accept a PIN instead, giving you a choice. Of course, you can continue to sign as you have always done. The introduction of this choice will in most cases result in a faster transaction process rather than waiting for your signature to be verified.

Because you are still pressing "credit" and using your PIN to verify your transaction, this transaction is included in your “free transactions” with MCU. These "credit" transactions are still free regardless of how often you use them.
