<p>I just got my daughter an ATM card for her upcoming trip to Italy, now I want to make sure she can use it once she gets there.</p>
<p>How many digits should be associated the PIN she uses with her ATM card?</p>
<p>My wife and son just returned from italy. They used their US ATM cards, and the U.S. PIN worked in Italy as well. I don’t believe there is a particular Italy format required.</p>
<p>It should be four digits long. </p>
<p>Be sure to call the bank whose name is on the card and give them the dates which you will be using it overseas.</p>
<p>My daughter spent last fall in Italy and used her US ATM card as well. I don’t recall her needing a different pin number either. I think the pin number worked internationally.</p>
<p>You need to remember to convert your Pin number into Roman numerals!</p>
<p>Dadguy… my chuckle for the day!</p>
<p>FWIW, we know our ATM pin as four letters which we translate into numbers like those on keypad of a phone. The bank encouraged us to to help remember, you know. Never had to know the numbers, frankly.</p>
<p>Only most of the ATMs in Europe don’t have the letters on their keypads, just the numbers. Thank goodness we had a cellphone with us to work out what the number was or we’d have had to go without any cash. :lol</p>
<p>I was surprised in Europe several times to be asked for a PIN for a credit card. My sister got stuck because she had a company credit card, and it took several days and several hoops to jump through before the company could give her a PIN for it.</p>
<p>But for ATMs, yes, just the 4 digit PIN works fine.</p>
<p>must be 4 digits</p>
<p>Thanks, I was worried that, if it needed to be more than four digits that her PIN would be long enough here but not there!</p>
<p>I also had that thought about possibly no letters on the keypad …</p>
