ATMs infuriating lately

Post by **Felgerkarb** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 11:33 am

Are Cambodian banks taking the same route as Vietnam when it comes to withdrawing only limited amounts of cash? I used to be able to get 2k out of ABA, now like ANZ they keep me down to 400 a day. MB won't even give me 100r. Some days I can't get anything at all....I went to ten different ATMs today, 5 different banks, all refused to dispense cash. Called my bank, all is well on my end, they say the Cambodian banks are denying it on their end.

Gonna be a lean ass month at this rate.

It's the last day of the month, so lots of workers have to withdraw their salaries so they can make the loan repayment on the Honda Dream.

Is it always at the end of the month that you have this problem?

I took a $1k out from an ANZ ATM the other day, no problem. Even gave me all $50's, so I wouldn't have to post on here to ask where to break a $100.

What kind of card where you using, ANZ has limited me to $400? It's not my bank.

ANZR, $4k, Toul Kork branch, no issues.

If you want $100 bills, use the ANZR Infinity ATM on Norodom - I think it's their busiest so more likely to be stacked with Benjamins so they don't have to reload it as often.

I took our $8,000 over four days when i was in town recently. I wonder if there is a difference between funds deposited in the local account and what I think Felgerkarb's situation is - funds in US accounts accessed from here.

My US based funds and bank allow up to 5k by ATM per day worldwide...Cambodian banks have other ideas. ANZ locks me to 400 a day, when it does work. Other banks suddenly just became difficult.

Good point about end of month, but had the same issues mid month. This is getting tiresome.

How about opening an ABA account and doing international transfers into it? If you have an aba debit card you can withdraw 1000 a day, with a visa platinum you can withdraw 10000 a day

Have been considering it. Maybe easier and less fees at this point. I just don't relish the paperwork to the American government for daring to have a foreign bank account.

Not a requirement of my countries, and I was not aware it was a requirement of the USA. Glad I'm not a Kennedy.
