Why It Is Called a Green PIN

IDFC First Bank branded this feature as Green PIN as part of a paperless, eco-friendly initiative. Instead of a physical PIN mailer sent by post, you generate your PIN digitally, saving paper and time.

FAQ

Can I generate a Green PIN on a new debit card before activating it?

Yes. As soon as your new debit card is dispatched and linked to your account, you can generate the PIN through the app or ATM. You do not need to activate the card separately.

What if I never set a PIN and got a new card?

All new IDFC First Bank debit cards require a Green PIN to be set by the customer. Use the app or ATM method to set one before your first ATM transaction.

How many times can I change my ATM PIN?

There is no hard limit on PIN changes. However, avoid changing it too frequently as this can occasionally trigger security checks on your account.
