Just to confirm as I would at Barclays IT centre in Cheshire. PIN numbers are computer generated and are NEVER stored in unencrypted format anywhere, even on the mainframe itself(In fact they are generated inside a hardware encryption unit that stores only the encrypted value(and we are talking 512bit encryption here !!! ). You should NEVER tell it to anyone even Bank staff as there is absolutely NO reason for them to know it.
