I noticed one outside the Delagacion. Someone said it accepts "foreign" cards. Does anyone know if it's working yet? | -----------------Re: New ATM

I can use my Banamex card at the Caja Solidaria ATM for a fee of $35 pesos when I can't get over to Melaque, but I'd like to know the fee at the new machine as well. Could someone who uses it please report the charge for withdrawing money? Thanks. | -----------------Re: New ATM

Thanks, Tim. Apparently the charge is almost double the Caja Solidaria fee for the convenience of using foreign cards? | -----------------Re: New ATM

One doesn’t have to have a degree in economics to realize that it could be cheaper than gas or bus fare to Melaque and so much better for the environment9252599 | -----------------Re: New ATM

I just used it - yes, 69 pesos using my Canadian bank card. Gustavo was in his office, and he had told me it would be 39 pesos, so maybe that's what I would have been charged if I had used my Banamex card. In any case, it's very convenient! And the end of my enforced savings plan, I guess...(cutting back on spending to delay the Melaque run) Things sure are changing around here. | -----------------Re: New ATM

so, the user fee is 69 pesos... what’s the maximum withdrawal limit❓ (one person said they withdrew 8000 pesos— May or May not be the limit... | -----------------Re: New ATM

I've been told that the limit is set by your bank, not by the bank with the ATM. I usually call my bank before I come down and get my limit increased. | -----------------Re: New ATM

using an ATM is a 2-way street... your bank sets maximum daily limit— if this limit is low a phone call requesting this limit be increased makes life much easier... However, just because you can, for instance, withdraw a thousand $$ per day, ATM’s impose maximum withdrawal limits- if you make the ATMmax withdrawal, you can make same withdrawal a second time (assuming you haven’t exceeded your daily withdrawal limit).

Having only just been here for a few days, can you help me out with where is the delegation? Don’t really want to go into Melaque tomorrow if I don’t have to | -----------------Re: New ATM

Went there today and was able to use my USA VISA. WOW. It was easy. I hope it keeps working, so convenient. | -----------------Re: New ATM

Does the ATM still work? Where is it, please. | -----------------Re: New ATM

Brian go to town square. Face the church. Turn clockwise 90 degrees. The yellow building is the combined Delegacion office / police station. The ATM is under sloped roof. | -----------------Re: New ATM

Thanks, Jim. We haven't been to La Manzanilla since 2011. This is good news.
