ATM's with cheaper fee's?

Postby tatt2ed » Thu Mar 15, 2012 8:59 pm

Just went to Acleda and my card wouldn't work for whatever reason. Went to ANZ and it was a $5 fee and they lowered the amount to $500 for a single withdraw. Pricks.

Anyone know of any cheaper ones that still have a $1000.00+ limit?

Thanks

I've been getting up to $800 at Canadia with no fees.
Screw ANZ. They used to let you get $800 with a $4 fee. Thieves and robbers. They should do well in Cambodia.

As far as I know Cambodia Public Bank has $1000/day limit, NO fees.

I'm trying to remember the last time I had that much money to withdraw though...

I was so relieved to find Canadia. I know $5 isn't a lot of money but I hate giving it to banks for absolutely nothing, when nothing for nothing seems fair!

I am restricted to $200. I know it's not card related as I can get $500 out at UCB ($4 fee) so how are you guys able to get more?

no idea but that does sound weird...when i enquired with the staff about the ATM limit they said $600 thought it may have even been $800...can't remember for sure now...as it was i went upstairs and got $1400 on visa with just drivers licence for ID...

I don't understand that either, I can get more than that from Canadia with their ATM card or a foreign debit card, not that I often have occasion to.

Don't just look at the ATM fees, heinous as they are.

Also check out the:
  • Issuing banks cut on the FX rate,
  • Issuing bank fees.
  • Charge for using your card in an overseas ATM etc etc.
  • Issuing bank minimum charge for overseas ATM withdrawal.

My card is from an Aust credit union and as far as I understand the card's daily limit is $800. I have withdrawn that amount pretty much every month and have had no problems or fees with Canadia.

Good point, even if Canadia aren't charging you there are probably fees from the other side. They had notices at Canadia machines a year or so back saying there was a charge of $3 or so for foreign cards, it doesn't make much sense for them to do it for free.
