How do the requirements for PIN codes abroad differ from those in Switzerland?

• PIN length: In Switzerland, 4- or 6-digit PINs are common. Abroad, some ATMs only accept 4-digit PINs. In this case, enter the first 4 digits of your 6-digit PIN. Conversely, if you have a 4-digit PIN and 6 digits are requested, do not enter any additional numbers.
• Contactless payment: In Switzerland, no PIN is required for amounts under CHF 80.–. Limits vary abroad, for example EUR 25.– in the EU.

Tip: If you have issues with your PIN abroad, try a different ATM or visit a bank counter.

Security rule: Always keep your PIN confidential and never write it down.
