Sunday21 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 Dear Bros and Sisters, Here's an easy problem for a change. I need to create pin number for my ATM. In Canada, pin numbers are usually 4 digits but one can request more digits. I would like to use my ATM card in the US and in Europe. Can you tell me how many digits US Atm pin numbers have? Can you tell me how many digits European Atm pin numbers have? Thanks! Quote
JudoMinja Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 I think it's possible to have a six digit pin with some banks in the US. But four digits is the most common. Quote
skippy740 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 Having been a bank manager, we told our customers they could have a pin from 4 to 12 digits long. However, when traveling, it could be an issue with certain machines to have a pin that's longer than 4 digits. I'd talk to your bank manager where you have your account to get some guidance on this.

classylady Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 My pin is 4 digits. I've used my card in Europe, and 4 digits worked over there just fine. Quote
Guest Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 Aw, you mean we don't get to pick a new one for you? Quote
pam Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 All of the cards that I work with at my job will only allow 4 digit pins. Quote

Guest Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 What's wrong with Asia? In any case, if you want to know how many PIN digits most ATMs in the Philippines use - it's 4. Quote
RMGuy Posted December 9, 2011 Report Posted December 9, 2011 4 digits in most of Europe is the standard. -RM Quote
miztrniceguy Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 What's your PIN number and I'll tell you if it will work! ;-) Quote

Vort Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 What's your PIN number and I'll tell you if it will work! ;-)The PIN number? Is that what you use with the ATM machine that you drive to in your SUV vehicle? Quote
pam Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 Then again it always makes me laugh when people say PIN number. It's rather redundant after all. Quote
jerome1232 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 If Microsoft can refer to the NTFS File System then... Quote
Guest xforeverxmetalx Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 I've used my ATM card in Europe with no problems. (You also save loads of money in currency exchange if you withdraw a large chunk of cash at once.) And as far as PIN number, it could be worse. If people started it a PI number, I'd get confused and think of 3.14(15926535...). Actually, I bet someone's PIN is 3141 for that reason... no not mine. Quote
pam Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 So why can't you just say PIN without saying number? :) Quote
pam Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 Also kind of like when I had twins. Most comments were "how are your 2 twins doing? Aren't twins usually 2? Quote
Vort Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 Also kind of like when I had twins. Most comments were "how are your 2 twins doing?Aren't twins usually 2?The correct answer, delivered in a hushed and somewhat worried tone:Actually, only one of them's a twin. Quote
miztrniceguy Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 And if the bank can refer to themselves as UMB Bank...... Quote
pam Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 The correct answer, delivered in a hushed and somewhat worried tone:Actually, only one of them's a twin. Well to be really technical. Fraternal twins aren't really twins. They are siblings born at the same time. Quote
Guest xforeverxmetalx Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 So why can't you just say PIN without saying number? :)Obviously that'd be ideal. I was only saying it could be worse than PIN number. Quote
pam Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 I know. I was just messing with ya. Quote
Dravin Posted December 10, 2011 Report Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Well to be really technical. Fraternal twins aren't really twins. They are siblings born at the same time. What technical definition is this? Most of the definitions I'm seeing for twins don't stipulate they be identical/clones. Maybe I'll start referring to identical twins as clones from now on... on the plus side if I ever notice identicle twins fighting I can make a reference to The Clone Wars.
