Hi Calvin,

They use a dot matrix printer that is  connected to a special device called a HSM....   The HSM has an API for creating the pin numbers so when you call the API with correct parameters the HSM printers the pin number on the paper (ATM pin mailer) ...

Hello Good People,

I would like to know how banks print their pins for credit or debit card, the pins that come out with a paper that is sealed and blacked out from the outside to avoid viewing of the pin, 

I would like to know how this is done whether a special printer/software or process is used as I would like to implement them in another module (not debit or credit card, just issuing of PINS to some group of users)

With Kind Regards
