What is a PIN?
A PIN or Personal Identity Number is a personal code that you create and use for your transactions. When you receive your TransitChek QuickPay Card in the mail, you will be required to create a PIN for the Card. You cannot create a PIN using the Online Management Account service or by speaking with a TransitCenter Customer Service Representative.
A PIN is a 4-digit number that is used in combination with your Social Security Number, name, and date of birth to identify you as someone who has the right to access your own personal information on Federal Student Aid Web sites, such as FAFSA on the Web. When you first apply for your PIN, it is considered to be conditional until your information is verified with the Social Security Administration (SSA). You may sign a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) with it, but nothing else. Once we complete verification with the SSA (1-3 days from the date you first apply), you will be able to use your PIN to access your personal information on any of these Federal Student Aid Web sites: FAFSA on the Web at www.fafsa.ed.
