    Any experience in using your Non-EU Visa Debit Card with 6-digit PIN in ATMs?

    Just an update, Debit cards with 6-digit PIN (Visa and Mastercard) have no problem withdrawing from ATMs in Paris. Used mainly those of BNP Paribas. Fastcash option up to 400 euros available, with option to take out a variety of bills (from 10 to 50 euro bills). Hope it helps. Will be on my way...

    Any experience in using your Non-EU Visa Debit Card with 6-digit PIN in ATMs?

    I have travelled a lot and the last few years I have used a WISE card. It is prpaid so very safe. It has low fees and great exchange rates. I have used it in ATM in Cambodia, Money Changer and restaurants in Vietnam, at the train station in Venice and various hotels, restaurants and ATM’s around...

    Any experience in using your Non-EU Visa Debit Card with 6-digit PIN in ATMs?

    If you do that, don’t count on using ATMs in China. Both that I tried in the Beijing airport explicitly said your PIN must be six digits.

    Any experience in using your Non-EU Visa Debit Card with 6-digit PIN in ATMs?

    I can vouch for that. No problems with ATM's, contactless transactions or pin verification transactions. My understanding is that 4 digit pins are supposed to work when entered when asked for 6 digits.

    Any experience in using your Non-EU Visa Debit Card with 6-digit PIN in ATMs?

    I did Portuguese route last summer - I had no issues at all using a 6 digit pin in ATM's in Portugal or Spain. I only used ATM's that were tied to big popular banks, during banking hours, just in case there was an issue. Would withdraw the money then walk up to the teller to have them break...

    Any experience in using your Non-EU Visa Debit Card with 6-digit PIN in ATMs?

    Here is my unpleasant personal experience. I used my Visa debit within a legitimate credit union on the Primitivo. The $400 withdrawal stalled and then spat out my card. 30 minutes later I got notified by my bank that $1200 had been debited. It took 6 months to get it back. Since then I use my...

    Hi! I just want to know if anyone had any success (or trouble conversely on that matter) using your Visa Debit Card with 6-digit PIN when withdrawing Euros in ATMs in France and Spain? Just want to get an update as it seems there's conflicting but no concrete resolution to this querie. Just...

    The one thing I should have done before I left for the Camino

    Is your PIN number for the card(s) you will use in Europe, 4 or 6 digits? 6 will be problematic (to my knowledge)...

    Bank verification with Spanish SIM

    Thank you very much for the reply. So it appears the Wise Debit Card gives you an option to go for 4 or 6 digit pins. I shall proceed to apply for a card and pray all goes well during my maiden camino

    Bank verification with Spanish SIM

    I have never tried using more than four digits for a pin and so I can't comment on that but the Wise card and it's associated app makes it very easy and almost instantaneous to change the card pin and so if this is a concern then use a four digit pin on the Wise card. Of course you can try a...

    Bank verification with Spanish SIM

    Hi I am doing my 1st Camino in May. I have read a number of threads regarding ATM withdrawals where only 4 digit pins are accepted on the camino frances not the 6 digit ones. If I apply for a Wise Debit Card is it a 4 or 6 digit pin card? If it is 6 digit will it be accepted when i am there. Pls...

    US ATM cards not working

    Thank you. That is new information for me.

    US ATM cards not working

    Thank you for this confirmation. I guess that people are simply not keeping up with technological developments, or they are confused about requirements (for example the standards of a card issuing bank for their own national customers versus the standards of ATM interbank networks for all their...

    US ATM cards not working

    My Swiss card with a 6-digit pin has worked everywhere I've been in Europe for the past 7 years (Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Austria).

    US ATM cards not working

    Thank you for this information. For years now, I’ve read on the forum that people could successfully use cards with 6-digit PINs at ATMs in Spain and yet I continue to read the claim that one must change one’s PIN to 4 digits for Spain. I know for a fact that there has been a change a few years...
