How is a PIN code set at Tinkoff Bank?
In most “regular” banks, a PIN is issued to the holder during the initial issue of the card in a special secure PIN envelope. But at Tinkoff, the PIN code is generated electronically. This helps protect against many types of fraud. The code in paper form can become available to those who want to use the money on your credit card, but the electronic version will not be recognized by anyone except the holder.
You can get a PIN code from Tinkoff when activating a new card by making the appropriate request:
- to the helpline;
- to online banking.
The system generates a random set of numbers, which becomes your PIN code. It is difficult to find, and most often it does not resemble any of your data, such as your date of birth.
View in phone settings
Depending on the mobile device model, you can use the following approaches:
- go to the menu, select “Settings”, go to the “Phone” tab, where the folder called “My number” is located;
- go to “Settings”, select “SIM cards and mobile networks”, then go to the “SIM card settings” tab, where the basic data on the SIM card will be displayed, including the combination of numbers.
In any of these options, the names of the sections may be called slightly differently, depending on the operating system used, the manufacturer of the mobile device and other factors.
It should be understood that this option will only work if the combination of numbers is pre-entered into the phone’s memory or entered manually directly in the SIM card settings, which is recommended to be done immediately after purchasing and activating the SIM card.
How do I change my PIN code?
Changing the PIN code for a Tinkoff card is very simple and you don’t have to go to the bank to do this. There are 2 convenient ways to do this remotely:

To talk with a specialist you need to prepare:
- take the card or its data - number, expiration date;
