    1. No. If it's a debit card, they need your pin. I suggest you call your bank. Although, I can say right now that you any transaction through atm where the pin isn't entered remains void, you can call your bank to further assure you.

      P.S. Please post your comments on the appropriate post. This is the last time I'll be answering PPLIC questions in posts not related to PPLIC.
