Useful tips for secure transactions with Chania Bank cards
Security of transactions
In case the personal security code (PIN) is entered incorrectly three (3) times, the card is automatically withheld
Audio / Visual signals and screens guide you through the steps of each transaction, warning you in case you forget your card or cash at the ATM
In case you forget your card or money at the ATM, despite the notifications of the machine, then immediately the ATM will withhold them
In most ATMs of the network, our Bank has placed a special plastic cover (PIN Shield) on the ATM keypad, which makes it almost impossible to intercept the PIN code
