My ATM won't complain about an invalid pin until it actually communicates with the bank, at the very end of the transaction (after choosing checking/savings and the amount).


Every ATM in the UK I've used in 1.5 years did that. Makes sense. Why send 2 requests (confirm PIN -> initiate transaction) if you can combine it into one without losing anything?
