ATMS in central/eastern Europe
Are there general problems with using an American ATM card in central/eastern Europe, especially in Bratislava or Ljubjana? Other places I may be going include Prague, Budapest and Krakow (I'm assuming it's fine in those places). I bank with Citibank and will probably also open a small HSBC account.
Just wondering, because an article on Travel and Lesiure's website suggested that ATMs generally don't accept foreign bank cards in Ljubjana. |
Had no trouble using my Washington Mutual debit card in Budapest...hope that helps and they only charged me 1%.

No problems in Budapest or Prague. Just make sure your ATM card is linked to your checking account.
|
topping for Bratislava and Ljubajana info in particular
|
And no problem in Krakow.
|
ttt ... please help with info about Bratislava or Ljubjana if you've been there. Thanks!
|
Just got back from Bratislava no problems at all!

I used Google for Visa ATM Location and was given http://visa.via.infonow.net/locator/...earchPage.jsp/.
Google also found me www.mastercard.com/atmlocator/index.jsp - Then at http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...arch&meta= I read that in addition to National City ATMs, I can also use any ATM with a STAR® or PLUS® logo, and found the needed link: “Locate a PLUS ATM worldwide PLUS ATM Locator ”. When I keyed in my own postcide it gave me the bank at the foot of our hill, with a note that it is good for Visa and for Plus. ATMs are common in all the countries you have named. I always take two cards, so that if I lose one I can live on the other. Ben Haines, London [email protected] |
