Bank card chip query
Discussion
My card expired, I got a new one. No change in pin.
Card stops working a week later in chip and pin machines and only works with swipe machines. I order another.
New card works fine in shops (cant remember if I took cash from machines at all with it) then wont let me take money from cash machines. Apparently a new pin was sent out.
New card still works with old pin in shops.
Surely a security f up? I can get cashback with old pin and not get cash from mnachines. I know the cash machines read the magnetic strip and chip and pin read chip but it shouldn't matter IMO. I need to test if it works on any old machine. I remember reading that some card machines allowed any number in if you put in hash key before or after you enter. Madness.
Anyone know why this might be? The useless a
hole said "the systems might not of caught up". WTF.
PS - At no point did I request a new pin it seems they have just decided to send a new one with my new card. I haven't got it as I am away from home at a different office.
