Bank Indonesia (BI) has issued a new regulation that obligates credit cards to use a PIN (Personal Identification Number) as security measure. This regulation has been officially applied since July 1st, 2020. The enactment of this new regulation drives all banking companies that publish credit cards to immediately inform their credit cardholders for completing the update before the due date.
