Is Hong Kong unique by issuing cards with 6 digit pin numbers?
It explains the “Mystery at Barclay’s Bank” which ate my cash/credit card on my first day in Maputo. Like almost all ATM cards only four digits are accepted, not least First National Bank which i used throughout Namibia and South Africa. I am therefore colossally grateful to Standard Bank which seem to be the only bank which enables me to withdraw money from. Fortunately many towns do have these although not Tofo (but in Maxixe) or Ilha de Mocambique (Pemba being the nearest).

Yes. HSBC (HK) has six digit PINs, but the UK only 4. I'll remember that next time I travel to Africa!
