ATM SafetyPIN software is a proposed
software application that would allow users of automated teller machines (ATMs) to alert the police of a forced cash withdrawal by entering their
personal identification number (PIN) in reverse order. ZICUBED ATM SAFETYPIN ATM Safety PIN aka Reverse PIN Web Site. The system was invented and patented by Illinois lawyer Joseph Zingher ().
History
The concept of an alternative emergency PIN system, or
duress code, for ATM systems has been around since at least July 30, 1986, when
Representative Mario Biaggi, a former police officer, proposed it in the U.S. Congressional Record, pp. 18232 et seq. Biaggi then proposed House Resolution 785 in 1987 which would have had the
FBI track the problem of
express kidnappings and evaluate the idea of an emergency PIN system. HR785 died in committee without debate.
Zingher has not been successful in marketing his invention. Why Great Ideas Get Shot Down CNNMoney.com, 01-27-2006Police in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois, and Kansas have supported the concept.

In 2006, an e-mail
chain letter hoax circulated that claimed a reverse PIN duress code system is in place universally. Security Update - Reverse PIN Hoax Diebold, Inc.
American Banker reported on January 2, 2007 that no PIN-reversal duress code is used on any ATM as of that date.
Diebold, a manufacturer of ATM machines, states on their website that no such emergency alerting system is currently in use. They cite an article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch which claims bankers oppose the reverse-PIN system out of concerns that "ATM users might hesitate or fumble while trying to enter their PINs backwards under duress, possibly increasing the chances of violence." Diebold further states that they would be willing to support such technology if their customers (presumably banks) request it.
