Chip and PIN has made our cards much less likely to be used fraudulently in the UK, thanks to the microchip on the front of the card combined with the four-digit PIN that we use to prove that we are the genuine cardholder.

However, we all need to continue taking responsiblity for keeping our PINs safe.
