This article explains how card PINs work on KAST, why you can’t view your PIN directly, and what to do if you’ve forgotten it. You’ll also find step-by-step instructions for resetting your PIN and answers to common questions.
Can I View the PIN Code of My KAST Card?
No. For security reasons, KAST does not store or display your card PIN.
Your PIN is created by you and is never visible inside the app or to the KAST team. This helps protect your card from unauthorized access in case your account or device is compromised.
If you’ve forgotten your PIN, the only option is to reset it.
Why Doesn’t KAST Show My Card PIN?
This is an intentional security measure.
Card PINs are considered highly sensitive information. To reduce fraud risk:
- PINs are not stored in readable form
- PINs are never displayed after creation
- Even KAST support cannot see or retrieve your PIN
This is standard practice for security.
What Should I Do If I Forgot My KAST Card PIN?
If you don’t remember your PIN, you can reset it instantly in the KAST app.
Resetting your PIN replaces the old one—you won’t need the previous PIN to complete the process.
How Do I Reset My KAST Card PIN?

Frequently Asked Questions
Can KAST support tell me my PIN?
No. For security reasons, KAST cannot view, retrieve, or disclose your PIN. If you forget your PIN, you must reset it directly in the app.
Does resetting my PIN affect my card or balance?
No. Resetting your PIN only updates the PIN itself and does not impact your card status, balance, or transaction history. All other account details remain unchanged.
How often can I reset my PIN?
You can reset your PIN whenever necessary. Your account must be in good standing, and you must successfully complete authentication in the app.
Can I reset my PIN without the app?
No. PIN resets can only be completed through the KAST app. This ensures proper identity verification and account security.
What if my PIN reset doesn’t work?
If you experience issues while resetting your PIN, contact KAST Concierge through the app. The team can help troubleshoot and guide you through the next steps.
Is my PIN the same for all my KAST cards?
No. Each KAST card has its own unique PIN. If you have multiple cards, you will need to manage and reset each PIN separately.
