Using a 6-digit PIN number at ATMs in Germany?

To be very sure I would ask your bank which partnering bank or ATM pool in Germany allows cheap and secure ATM usage - and in which way.

I've only heard of 4 digit security numbers here and in Europe. Suggest you visit your nearest B of A and change your PIN.

Europeans have reported here in the past that they have PINS that are 5 and 6 digits. So I don't think you'll have any problems.

In the olden days of ATMs, the computer only allowed you four slots on the screen to enter your PIN (like 4 blank slots to fill with your number). Those days are pretty far past now...

FYI - Your local bank will have no idea so it doesn't really help to contact them.

This is an urban myth. I have a card with a 6-digit PIN, issued from a European bank. It works everywhere.
The other totally untrue myth is about PIN's starting with 0 (zero). I have a PIN starting with 0 on a different card, again never any problem.

@Karen, yes that includes never having any problems in Italy with a 6-digit PIN.

what you may not see is letters. so if your pin is a word or sequence of letters you may find it easier if you have an opportunity is to change it to all digits. While you are at it perhaps you can change to 4 digits if it will make you feel better.
