Introduction:

There are many banks all throughout RuneScape. Banks are useful for storing many valuable and non-valuable items to keep them safe. Setting up a Bank PIN will keep your valuables even safer.

Intro

Setting Up A Bank PIN:

The first thing you need to do when using your bank is to set up a bank PIN. This number is used to keep your bank much safer. You may set up your PIN number (Personal Identification Number) at almost any bank in RuneScape.

  1. To set up a bank PIN, go to a bank in RuneScape (Non-Members or Members). Not all banks will allow you to set up a Bank PIN. Talk to a banker and tell him or her that you would like to check your PIN settings.

  2. A Bank PIN settings screen will pop up, select "Set A Pin".

  3. Now, select "Yes, I really want a Bank PIN. I will never forget it!."

    Accept

  4. The next screen will prompt you to enter the Bank PIN you would like to use. Select the digits of your Bank PIN. To ensure you that you clicked one of the numbers, a helpful reminder has been added to the top right hand corner of the corner. One of the 4 "?" marks will change into a "*", each time you enter a digit. Due to security reasons the numbers will change order while you enter the digits.

    Note: Do not use your birthday, cellphone PIN or real-life bank PIN as your RuneScape Bank PIN as some of your friends or relatives might know this information and might try to hack into your bank account.

    Enter PIN

    If you enter a too easy PIN number (f.e.: 3333), the following message will appear.

  5. Once you have entered your Bank PIN, you will be prompted to enter it once more as a confirmation. Due to security reason, you will have to wait seven days before you will be able to use your Bank PIN. Even if your Bank PIN is pending, you will be able to access your bank, but you will be asked if you have set a Bank PIN and if you want to continue.

    If you enter the wrong Bank PIN, the following message will appear.

    Wrong PIN

Bank PIN Control Area:

When you have created your Bank PIN you may use the settings menu to check on the status of your Bank PIN. Simply talk to a banker to access your Bank PIN settings. You can use this menu if you wish to delete your (pending) Bank PIN, change your Bank PIN or want to change how long it will take to recover a lost PIN.
