I have also used it at various other ATMs around the UK and it always works fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE1 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I have Mastercard from Bangkok Bank , and I went into my local branch today to find out why it worked on some sites and not others. The ladies telephoned Bangkok and came back with the truth . It does not work on all sites like Visa did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No answer so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldgit Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 It will not work as all ATMs and card machines in UK and EU can only accept a 4 digit pin number. To clarify I used to work for SAGE chip and pin machines, (Who make at least 50% of all machines worldwide) they cannot accept 6 digit PIN numbers. And I've tried, it will not work ever.I used my 6 digit PIN when using my Kasikorn Debit Card at an ATM and a supermarket in the UK last month, no problem whatsoever, I also used them in December.My Thai Amex card, not chipped, also worked fine automatically printing out a receipt for signing, except in one pub where I didn’t have to do anything, they just swiped my card and handed over my wine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai ATMs work with Cirrus, Maestro, MasterCard and Visa (Plus) cards. Your bankcan confirm whether your card belongs to one of these networks. ... Thai ATMs workwith chip-and-pin type cards and with cards that have just a magnetic stripe at the back. They also accept both four-digit and six-digit PIN numbers.Feb 28, 2017 The above from Internet search. Today, I used my chipped USA Debit card with 4 digit Pin at a Thai ATM and had no problem withdrawing funds. The same over several years. Thailand will accept 4 and 6 digit Pins from any bank with uses the systems listed above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my U.S. MC and VISA debit cards all have only 4 digit PINS (not 6), and they all work fine in all Thai bank ATMs and for POS -- assuming you have unlocked the card with the card issuing bank to allow its use outside your home country.

I've been using my UK Mastercard here for years. My wife's sister alarmed her by saying Thai banks are using six-digit pins and maybe our card wouldn't work here. Panic over.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Ya... my older Thai bank cards still have 4 digit PINs, and of course they still work here. But the newer ones I've been issued in the past year or two all have 6 digit PINs, and of course, they work here also... So, AFAIK, as long as the PIN is correct, either 4 or 6 digit PINs should still be accepted in any of the ATMs in TH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
