Considerations for PIN Entry for Visually Impaired Users
Starting in April 2025, entering a PIN (Personal Identification Number) became mandatory when using a card in-store. However, if a visual or other disability makes PIN entry difficult, reasonable accommodations can be provided. The person with a disability can inform store staff, who may then request a signature or other form of identity verification. Proxy PIN entry is strictly prohibited; instead, the use of contactless payment methods that do not require a PIN is recommended.
