ATM update

Is the new ATM in town still functioning and accepting US and CAN cards? | -----------------Re: ATM update

Yes, I use my USA-bank debit card on a regular basis at the ATM next to the delegado's office. There have been some occasions where the machine was out of money, but other than that it works fine. The withdrawal fee is about 70 pesos compared to about 30 at the Banamex in Melaque, but if you don't have any other reason to go to Melaque the ATM here works well. | -----------------Re: ATM update

Yes, it seems to be working fine, and will give you more cash at a time, so the extra fee is worth it. Does anyone know the maximum amount of cash our ATM will dispense in one go? (In Melaque, last year, it was 6000 pesos.) | -----------------Re: ATM update

Which choice is the correct one to use a debit card? There were six or eight choices after I put my card it. Thanks | -----------------10,000 pesos a day in..

Look in the top right. It says "retiro de efecivo" That means cash withdrawal. After you select that, the next option should be from checking, savings or credit. I have successfully withdrawn 8000 before from the ATM here, but I'm not sure about the limit. | -----------------Re: ATM update

My experience has been that the "Por Dia" limits are set by your bank back home. Usually $300.00 or $500.00 per day. | -----------------Re: ATM update

Ron, most of us have a limit that we arranged with our own bank, but, if it's higher than the ATM limit, you will get only what the ATM decrees. | -----------------Re: ATM update

Thank you for finally getting it right. Your bank, not the bank of the ATM, sets the amount that you can take out. I called Citibank when I was about to buy a motorcycle and told them that I needed to withdraw $125,000 pesos at one time. They gave me a 24-hour time to do it. It took me 45 minutes at 5,000 pesos a pop, but I got all of the money from one ATM at Banamex in Melaque with no problem, all at one visit. So there are some people trying to help us here who really don't know what they are talking about, it would seem.

Oow, one caveat which may make me eat some of my words. I called Citibank, my US banker, about this transaction. They own Banamex. I don't think that should make a difference, but if it does I might be wrong. I would love to hear whether this is the case or not. Thanks. | -----------------Re: ATM update

maybe a "per transaction" limit. the machine might allow 6 or 8000p per transaction, but its up to your bank what your total daily limit might be. not really sure, but there must be some limits with the banks and the atms. | -----------------Re: ATM update

If you plan to buy things that cost a lot just open an account at INTERCAM. Then write a check on your NOB account and get all the money you need. Much easier than messing with multiple withdrawals from and ATM. | -----------------Re: ATM update

Thanks Mateo I just saw your note on how to use the atm. It must have just not been responding the day I tried to use it. Neal | -----------------
