Gaurav Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Have you ever noticed that ENOC fuel station doesn't require you to punch the security pin? I'm really clueless how, and concerned for safety to know more if someone is aware of any secret way to authorize credit card transaction without security pin or phone apps....? 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

desertdude Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Like in the old days I guess you just needed the card details for a transaction to go through 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 My first debit card and credit card in 1998 had a pin too. Dont know about your dino era bro, it's a safety issue. Especially now in today world of scammers and thieves. 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikumar Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 In ENOC anything below AED 200 doesn't need a pin. This extends to many other retail outlets as well that accept Visa Wave cards. Just tap and hear the sms on your phone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 I dont have any wave card or app, just plain vanilla credit card. Hope they have some security in place to not to charge any card at multiple locations in case its lost or stolen. 200 is not too much to risk. 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

This feature was launched after the release of the Tap function, of you remember before we had to give the Pin to the pump attendant or type it in. It’s considered safe as it’s below 200 Per Transaction (meaning I can swipe unlimited in amounts of 200 if the bank doesn’t recognize the pattern.) Banks nowadays have liability clauses in the contracts and if you file a complaint for a charge the pump number and time is noted so it’s very easy to track who was using the card without your approval. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefy Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 It is not the tap thing, because a full tank for mine costs 260 AED. It is probably the old school magnetic swipe with signature verification, but instead of that, they type your license plate in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you give you your card, and the person makes a copy of both sides, he or she can do with it what she wants. Some banks have a verification for online transfers (after a certain amount), where you have to verify your transfer by a code that you'll receive after putting al your details (also the 3 numbers on the back). Better to pay cash. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most retailers ask for pin as they do not want individuals to contact banks and void/stop a transaction after purchase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, but officially they should ask for a signature for the verification then... "officially" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
