Activate your UOB Card with a 6-digit PIN

Tap your card on or insert your card into the terminal. For contactless transactions above RM250, you will be prompted to key in your 6-digit PIN.

You will be allowed several attempts before your PIN is blocked. Limited PIN attempts protect you against the possibility of a criminal using your card. If your PIN gets blocked, set a new PIN by following the steps above via UOB TMRW app or Personal Internet Banking (PIB).

No, you do not need to use your PIN for card transactions online.

Yes. Each card will only have one PIN, which is used for payments and cash withdrawals.

It is very important that you keep your PIN safe to be protected against fraud. Ensure your PIN is not easy to guess by avoiding common numbers such as your date of birth, identity card, passport, driving license or contact numbers. Other measures to keep your PIN safe include:

• Do not keep a written record of your PIN.
• Do not allow another person to see your PIN when you enter it or if it is displayed.
• Do not keep your PIN in a form that can be readily identified as a PIN.
• Do not disclose your PIN to any other person (including persons in apparent authority, family members or spouse).
• Do not negligently or recklessly disclose your PIN.
• Notify us immediately if you become aware that your PIN has become known to someone else.
• Ensure any supplementary cardmembers keep their PIN secure as set out above.

The limit of contactless transactions is capped at RM250 per transaction. If the amount transacted is above RM250, you are required to enter your PIN to complete the transaction. Nonetheless, if your contactless transaction is rejected or fails, you will be required to insert your card and enter your PIN to complete the transaction.

A contactless card must be very close to the contactless reader to work. Your contactless card will only work when the card is within 4cm of the card reader. Furthermore, the reader needs to be enabled by the cashier and this will only happen when the cashier initiates a transaction at the terminal to accept payment. If the contactless reader is not processing a transaction, it will not read any contactless card presented in front of it by mistake.

The contactless terminal can only process one transaction at a time. Even if the contactless card is accidentally tapped more than once, you will only get billed once for the transaction.
