personilisedpin
The PersonalisedPIN™ System is a robust customer card management system and includes various features specific to the PIN encoding and reading of Magnetic/Chip cards process.
MillenTech's PersonalisedPIN™ solution is secure, efficient, flexible and is a cost effective system that can be customised to meet your specific needs and requirements.

The system includes an interfacing DC420™ Controller with a patented Unified Command Structure (UCS) that permits the integration and sharing of disparate devices into a control systems application known as; Intelligent Device Integration System (IDIS).  This controls peripheral devices and facilitates device sharing.
Whilst the system is device agnostic, we do recommend “best of breed” secure card reader/encoding and encrypting PINPad equipment.

Some of the functions of the MillenTech PersonalisedPIN software include:
  • PIN a “new” card - for instant issue of new cards (allowing customers instant access to accounts).
  • Change a ”Known” PIN - Uses current PIN as proof of identity before allowing the customer to change the PIN;
  • Change a “Forgotten” PIN - requires photo proof of identity (passport, photo driver’s license) to validate that the card does belong to the client;
  • PIN Verify - to prove that the customer knows the PIN of a card;
  • Read a Card - read the track data stored on the card to provide a fast and unconfirmed method of identifying the card and customer accounts.
  • PIN without Card - for delayed personalised card usage.  The customer selects their PIN at a branch, and a new personalised (with name) card is later forwarded to the customer with the PIN that they selected.
PersonalisedPIN delivered within the branch offers:
  • You have total customer engagement and can deal with any questions throughout the process and satisfy any fear this technology may cause.
  • The branch is a controlled environment that is safe and secure.
  • Within the branch all functions that a CSP solution offers can be used (forgotten PIN, instant issue and PIN Verify)
  • This total engagement model will allow the teller to offer additional banking services.
ATM interface has significant risk and drawbacks.
  • Open and unprotected environment that is normally exposed to the street elements.
  • Like all ATM’s they are always open to “Shoulder surfing”.
  • Should a new customer need help they could ask a queuing member of the public.
  • Not completing the total card activation or PIN change process correctly caused by first time use and pressure of a long impatient queue.
  • Limit the CSP options from the system (Lost card, forgotten PIN-Instant issue)
EMV ready solutions:

MillenTech's PersonalisedPIN solution incorporates EMV certificated hardware (EMV level 1) and application kernel software (EMV level 2) under our best of breed program.
PCI (Payment Card Industry):

MillenTech understands the PCI industry measurements to ensure safe handling of sensitive information and improve cardholders confidence, is a result of the combined efforts of major credit card associations.  Conformance to these new standards is important.

PCI PED (Payment Card Industry PIN Entry Device):

PCI PED is evaluated against the PCI security requirements: online, offline or both.  The test focuses on PIN Security testing as well as Triple DES capability compliance.  The PED Testing and Approval Program ensures that the device meets a prescribed level of security, especially focusing on PIN compromise.
