since german bankingcards / even girocard should comply to EMV Standard a change of PIN via Issuer Script should be possible - if the issuer - your bank - supports it.

In e.g. switerland it is normal to change your PIN - which is most time 6 Digits long. best regards Dirk On 10.07.2017 19:52, Matthias Apitz wrote: > El día lunes, julio 10, 2017 a las 11:42:12p. m. +0800, Guan Xin escribió: > >> This is probably a general question -- >> >> I have never seen a German bank that allows changing the PIN of a card. >> So I wonder if it is because using a fixed (non-changeable) 4-digit PIN >> mailed in clear text really safer than using a 4 to 6 digit variable length >> PIN that never explicitly appears anywhere. > Nowadays some German banks allow changing the PIN in the Teller > Machines.
