 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm petty officer Ian Cotter. All DOD government travel card holders will be migrated to chip and pin cards throughout 2015. President Obama issued an executive order requiring all federal agencies to upgrade payment cards to include chip and pin technology. Chip and pin is the next generation of payment card technology and will help prevent potential fraud. These cards have a microprocessor that requires a four-digit personal identification number at point of sale. This chip encrypts transaction data and protects the card holder's personal identifiable information or PII. All card holders will be issued a chip and pin card by October 2015. Prior to issue, card holders should log in to their city manager's online account to ensure their contact information is up to date. Exploration dates and three-digit security codes will change, but account numbers will stay the same. For more information, visit the Defense Travel Management Office website.
