British company Thinkmoney, part of the Think Money Group, has announced the deployment of First Data’s PIN Now SMS platform across its 120,000 cardholder base.
First Data’s PIN Now SMS enables delivery of a debit, credit or prepaid card PIN to the cardholder’s registered mobile phone in real-time. The PIN is sent via a text message, following a customer request which is password-authenticated to provide an extra layer of security.
