Was that intentional? :P

little device, which is different every time, when I slide my card into it and enter the PIN.
When I want to make a transfer, a control number is given which I enter into the device to produce a signature code.
So the PIN is never transmitted.
My system is, I enter the sixteen digit number of my ATM card (there may be more than one option here). Then, on the randomised keypad, I put in the six-digit PIN. That gets me to where I can see account balances. If I want to
do anything, then I will be sent (via my mobile) a six-digit code, which must be entered at the website, and is valid for two minutes.
I am finding this system to be somewhat limiting at the moment, because my mobile phone does not seem to be set up to work outside the country (need to look into this). And I live in a small country. Even smaller than yours.
