• When paying for goods and/or services, the cardholder enters the PIN at the POS terminal. The number of unsuccessful attempts of the PIN entering is limited to three, and then the card is automatically blocked. By entering the PIN, the cardholder authorizes/confirms the validity of the transaction;
