EMV (the card standard used by all modern chip/contactless cards) supports PINs between 4-12 digits in length.
- hoppla 4y agoI have been wanting to try a 4< digit pin, but I expect payment terminals to go bonkers because they don’t accept it. Have any of you a card pin longer than 4?
- Reason077 4y agoMy girlfriend used a 5-digit PIN for over 10 years in the UK and never had any issues that I can recall. I’d change mine too except I use the PIN so infrequently (99% contactless now days) I’m worried I’d forget the new one!
- soco 4y agoJust try and be surprised - no issues.
- saiya-jin 4y agojust don't try to use it in some remote exotic place, 4 places are often hardcoded but you may still be able to withdraw/pay, or not
- ChoGGi 4y agoMine is eight digits, never tried it outside Canada yet.
- iakov 4y agoSix-digit pin works well for me in European countries - Czechia, Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy.
