What is a Pin pad?

A PIN pad is a specialized input device used to enter a Personal Identification Number (PIN). It is commonly used in ATMs, credit card terminals, and electronic payment systems. The user inserts their card into the terminal and enters their secret PIN on the PIN pad to authenticate the transaction. This enhances security by preventing unauthorized access and reducing the risk of fraud. In addition to PIN entry, some PIN pads allow for transaction approval, cancellation, and entry of security codes, further improving the security of electronic transactions.
