PIN digits

Hello again,

How many digits has the PIN number in Austria?Four or five? Here we have 4 digits and last year in Salzburg we have problem, the ATM machines returned our cards and had been informed by Austrian people that they work with 5 digits .

I mean cash withdrawal card (to withdraw money from banc account) and not credit card, If so , please in which ATMs can I use PIN with 4 digits?(which sign e.g. Bancomat etc..)

Regards

I have never heard of anything else than 4-digit pins for your bancomat-card ...

Not sure if it helps, but this comapny runs all the ATM´s, cash machines ... in Austria:

Thank Fritz,have a nice weekend.

As far as I know, all Maestro and other european bank cards work with 4 digit pins... you won%26#39;t have any problems!

|||

Very strange...I have never heard of PIN-Codes that have more than 4 digits...

|||

I understand that some places have six digit codes , including some in USA.

A USA friend told me If one just inserts the first 4 digits of a six digit number in a european 4 digit ATM it will work.

Never have seen it work only what I was told.

I always used my six digit PIN code %26amp; it works fine in Europe.
