ATM in Geneva
 

Hello, <BR>I will be arriving in Geneva by plane. <BR>Are there ATM machines in the airport that will allow me to withdraw money with my bank card (Plus system compliance). <BR>Are there ATM machines throughout Switzerland? <BR>

Mike,<BR><BR>There are ATMs everywhere in Geneva - you will have no trouble. I usually get a couple of CHF before I leave and then get the rest from ATMs. I have never used travellers's cheques there.

Mike,<BR><BR>There's a UBS branch just outside bagage claim/customs to your right. They have ATMs that work with all US cards.<BR><BR>Bon voyage,<BR>Andre

Just saw your 2nd question - yes, there are ATMs all over the place in Switzerland and all should take your Plus card. UBS and Credit Suisse ATMs will definitely work.<BR><BR>Andre

The ATM machine(s) at Geneva airport are to the left after you leave customs and come out into the arrivals area. And as there are several UBS bank windows right there as well, you can always go to a teller and pull cash out some other way or exchange currency if you have a problem with the machines. Note: if you're staying in Geneva for any length of time, Placette department store accepts foreign currency - I've paid for an item or two using US dollars and don't think you get ripped off on exchange. Finally: DON'T take traveler's checks - you don't need them these days. If you've got a valid Mastercard or VISA credit card, they are accepted EVERYWHERE...

Yikes!!<BR><BR>I am SO dyslexic! Banker is correct: ATMs at Geneva airport are to the LEFT after customs - sorry for the confusion.<BR><BR>Andre

Yes there are ATM's at the Geneva airport. I can also speak for Lausanne, Vevey, and Montreux - yes.<BR><BR>Also I took travelers checks (because I'd been other places first working in Euro) and cashed $500US immediately upon arrival at the airport booth into CHF before catching the train out to Montreux.
