Change PIN


You can change your PIN at any ATM in Switzerland. Simply insert your card, select “Change PIN” and follow the instructions on the screen.

The machine will reject overly simple PINs such as 1234 or 5555 for security reasons. It is not possible to change your PIN from outside Switzerland. For security reasons, do not use any personal data such as your date of birth, telephone number or car registration number when creating a PIN.
