No se permiten más de tres intentos erróneos al día

"Para utilizar su tarjeta en cajeros automáticos debe introducir su PIN (Número de Identificación Personal) correctamente. Tenga en cuenta que no se permiten más de tres intentos erróneos al día."

I've worded this sentence in a complete different way so that it sounds natural in Spanish!

What I have written says literally: "In order to use your card at any cash point you need to key in your PIN correctly. Please note that you cannot make more than three failed attempts in a day"

(otherwise the card will be swallowed by the machine, obviously.)

If you tried to translate literally from your sentence in English it just wouldn't sound right.
