I'm not sure wahe Wendy is talking about - you asked about a 6-digit PINs right? Anyway - you must hava a 4 digit PIN for ATM card, Debit card, Cash advances on a credit card, etc. 6-digits do not work anyplace in Europe that I am aware of. easily fixed - just ask the bank how to go about changing your PIN.

I just tried to change my PIN to 4 digits and my bank has a 6 digit minimum but assured me that just putting in the first four digits works in European ATMs. I would still check with your bank but I checked with two different people at my bank and was told this is the case for most banks these days.

Thanks, everyone, for the replies.<BR><BR>I, actually, contacted my bank and was told to use LAST four digits of the PIN (drop first two).<BR><BR>However, based on your posts, some banks advise something else - to use FIRST four digits (drop last two). Go figure...<BR><BR>I hate to be in a position, when I arrive to Rome and cannot use my ATM card.
