摘要

A method of transmitting a secret code of a new microprocessor card held by a user, comprising the following steps: insertion by the user of the new card in a card reading terminal; sending of a request to obtain the secret code by the card reading terminal to a management server; transmission by the management server, via a communication network, of the secret code or of an item of information permitting the secret code to be obtained, to a communication terminal of the user. This method permits a holder of a new payment card to receive the new associated secret code to this card by means of a communication terminal. The transmission of the secret code is initiated by the insertion of the new payment card into a card reading terminal, which may be a payment terminal in a shop.
