they are not in Thailand....anyone aware of American banks that offer good ATM rates for debit cards, in Thailand? |

My Citibank card has always worked well in Thailand. There are a few Citibank machines but not many, but you'll get good rates at any machine. miguel -- Hit The Road!

ATMs in Thailand
??
An American card will access most ATM's in Thaiiland, nearly all of which are owned and operated by Thai Banks!! Most are affiliated with Maestro, Plus, Cirrus etc etc It's the affiliations that matter - not who owns the machine. In most of the world there are very few US Banks. "elliot" wrote in message ...

Why do you have to use an American bank? The cash dispensed by other banks is just as good. |

ATMs in Thailand
perhaps I didnt explain well.
My experience with Citibank i n Brazil was using a citibanbk ATM the exchange rate was great and with no additional charge. and although my Citibank debit card will work I am unsure of how I will be charged by ATMs other than Citibanks. Citi allows 5 times a month,using other ATMs with no charge...but its possible the bank owning the ATM will charge me |

That's largely an American habit. miguel -- Hit The Road! Photos and tales from around the world: http://travel.u.nu |

When I withdraw money abroad from another ATM there is a fee of 3.50 Euro, while the exchange rate is the same. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de/Galleries.htm - Photos from Myanmar, Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, Egypt, Austria, Budapest and Portugal |

ATMs in Thailand
The bank whose ATM you are using makes no charge. Your bank is the only one
which will charge. The exception is when using 'private' ATM's. They're rare, even in the USA; I've never seeen one in Thailand. When you use a foreign ATM the exchange rate you get is usually the wholesale interbank rate for the day. In addition there's a commission of between 1% and 3% depending on YOUR bank; and a fee YOUR bank may charge for use of a foreign bank's ATM - Even so ATM's are nearly always better than Traveller's Cheques and money changers.
