Enigma Number 1609

I remember it well

I am a bit vague about my bank security number-

It is a four figure number (or possibly five);

It uses four different digits (or possibly five);

The first digit is four (or possibly five);

The second digit is four (or possibly five) and none of the other digits is smaller;

The number is a prime multiplied by four (or possibly five);

If you reverse the order of the digits you get a number which is the product of four (or possibly five) different primes;

In four (or possibly five) of these statements my first guess is correct.

What is my bank security number?
