Abstract
The present invention comprises a system and method for providing a personal identification number (PIN) to a client terminal over a computer network. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a server receives a request for a PIN over a network, the request originating from a user at a client terminal. The request is associated with a requested monetary unit and a requested provider. The server retrieves from a database a PIN associated with the requested monetary unit and requested provider. The server transmits the retrieved PIN to the client terminal over the network, wherein the PIN is transmitted to the client terminal on-demand in response to the customer's request.

- receiving a request for a PIN over a network, the request originating from a user at a client terminal, the request associated with a requested monetary unit and a requested provider selected from among a set of available providers;
- retrieving from a database a PIN associated with the requested monetary unit and requested provider;
- transmitting the retrieved PIN to the client terminal over the network, wherein the PIN is transmitted to the client terminal on-demand in response to the user's request.
A system for providing a personal identification number (PIN) to a user, comprising:
- a server receiving a request for a PIN over a network, the request originating from a user at a client terminal, the request associated with a requested monetary unit and a requested provider selected from among a set of available providers;
- a database located on the server;
- wherein the server retrieves from the database a PIN associated with the requested monetary unit and requested provider, and transmits the PIN to the client terminal over the network on-demand in response to the user's request.
A system for providing personal identification numbers (PINs), comprising:
- a server coupled to a network, the server receiving a request for a PIN, the request received over the network originating from a client terminal wherein the request includes a provider selected from among a set of available providers;
- a database located on the server, the database containing PINs,
- wherein the server retrieves a PIN from the database in response to receiving the request, and transmits the retrieved PIN on-demand to the client terminal in response to said request from said client terminal.
