Chip embedded to the
Nordea cards belongs to the latest generation of the chips, which is the most
secure chip used today.

The migration to chip is
accompanied by the introduction of PIN at the POS, which makes it more
important to keep your PIN secure and memorize it, as it is needed to use it
also for making purchases and buying services.

„Migration to chip
cards will take place in order of expiration of old credit cards. Customers will get
the chip card in renewal process and also all new issued credit cards will be the chip
cards,“ said Jaunius Marinskas, Head of Nordea Bank
Lithuania Retail Deparment.

Nordea
Bank Lithuania is issuing 9 different types of Maestro debit and MasterCard
credit cards. At the end of 2007 bank had issued more than 81000 cards.
