The PIN on the account is the PIN on the account regardless of where the transaction takes place (ATM or point-of-sale).

For SJ unattended machines, I have not had a problem with either mag-stripe or chip cards. Most of the time I use the SJ machines for ticket collection, having purchased the tickets online - you can get a good price on the Just Now 1st Class tickets. You should also be able to use a manned ticket booth if you're having trouble with your cards and the automated machines.
You've also got PM...
