Where the flaming nora is my pin?

I opened a Coop Cashminder last Monday, got my new card on Saturday but still waiting to use it because I still have no pin, no mention of any pin arriving in a welcome letter, nothing! Am I missing something? Where's me pin?! Do I make my own at ATM machine or something?

So used to being blindfolded and guided by the hand through the financial processes by my mates LloydsTSB (am I allowed to say that!) having to think for myself now, just looking for Coop's protocol regarding pins.

    I got mine about a week after the card,was starting to panic then it turned up!
  • Most cards I've had (albeit debit), there's been about 5 working days between pin & card.

    Give it till end of week and it you've not heard anything then give Co-Op a ring.

    I opened my account over the phone last tuesday, it was accepted but have heard nothing since!

    Does it normally take this long without so much as a 'welcome peasant' letter? :rolleyes:

    I received my pin 2 days after opening Coop account and the card on the 3rd day. They must be really busy at the moment to be taking so long.

    If the account is opened they should be able to give you account no and sort code over the phone so you can set up your direct debits.
