Hmmm... Well that was the one I tried initally as it is actually the nearest one to my house. Will try again tomorrow, if not I will have to give them a call and find out what the problem is.

Yes, but you've already said that is a RBS ATM, I expect what they mean is one of their own ATMs, branded Tesco Bank. I think most stores have them now but some, as you've found, still have RBS ones. I doubt whether one of these would allow a PIN change on another bank's card without a chip.

I have three Tesco stores relatively near me and all of them have RBS branded ATMs. When did Tesco branded ones come in? One of the stores is pretty new.

System

Tesco ATMs are currently run by RBS; a holdover from when Tesco Bank was a Tesco / RBS joint venture.

Each is basically an RBS cashline with the branding and software customised.

I used a Nationwide machine to change the PIN on mine last week.

Edit: But that was a Tesco Current account card. I have changed the PIN on a savings account at a Tesco/RBS branded ATM in the past.

Cards had magnetic stripes and PINs long before we had chips!

It will be on the magnetic strip. PINs were used for ATMs long before the advent of chip cards.

Ah, the naivety of youth . I worked on debit card PIN systems as far back as 1987, and they were a long way from new then.

Well I went to the new Tesco up the road this morning and have found that I have been able to change my pin - yipee!

There is a option on this ATM that says 'Charity and other services", the PIN change option is under that.
