How to protect your PIN.....by being creative!

It is the responsibility of an EMV Cardholder (someone holding a Chip enabled card) to protect their PIN when entering it into an ATM, or at any payment terminal.  Best industry advice is to shield it whenever entering it into a device, thereby preventing visual compromise.  Sometimes this is not easy.........and you have to be creative in how you do it.  EURO Kartensysteme in Germany has produced the short amusing video below, which illustrates this point.  If you don't read German the text says:
