People with an attitude like you just displayed probably can't get a
decent ATM card. The rest of us can get one from just about any bank

or
credit union that they do business with.
Perhaps if you grow up maybe someday you'll be eligible, too.

You did not bother to answer my question: which bank in Finland?


That wasn't your question. Your question was "where" not "which bank in
Finland". If you have a bad banking system in Finland that's not our
fault. But I stand by my answer. Maybe the banks in Finland are smart
enough to recognize that people with an attitude like you displayed in
the note above (or like you displayed when you went on your racist
anti-Jew rant a while back) can't be trusted with decent ATM accounts.

The rest of the world has no problem getting cards like we've all been
discussing.

Replacing the travelers checks involved several international

phone
calls
at
my expense (because it was on a weekend and the in-country office

was only
open Monday-Friday) and about a half-day of traveling to get to

the
nearest

I have been involved once and no international calls were required.

Actually
I didn't make any calls myself. All decisions were made in Bangkok

(I
was on
Phuket myself).

American Express office that had the special power of check

replacement,
on
Monday when it opened.

American Express office in Bangkok (which is wired to several

places
around
the kingdom) keeps open all the time.


Nonsense. The Amex office on Paholyothin is open during normal

business
hours, Monday through Friday.

The head office clearing the claims in Bangkok is open all the time.


No it's not. And, again, that's not what you said. Either way, you're
wrong. Go to the office on Paholyothin and look at their posted hours.
That's if you ever go to Thailand.

It certainly doesn't instill much confidence in travelers checks
knowing they have such limited acceptability.

In Thailand this shouldn't be much of a problem.


Actually under the scenario that Chris provided you would have the

same
problem in Thailand. ATM cards work everywhere. Why play the game

with

I have always had Thai money in my pockets until I have found a bank

to sell
my cheques.


So? You can say the same thing about ATM cards. Further, I can hit an
ATM machine any time day or night whether I have baht in my pocket or
not.


TCs?

Haven't I said this a zillion times befo they are refundable when

they
get lost.


So what? You can replace your ATM card if it gets lost. Further, if
someone steals it and steals your PIN you can get a refund on the money
they stole.

Or is this another service that the banks in Finland won't allow you to
have?

Consult an able shrink. You are in urgent need.

YES IT IS ALWAYS OPEN. It reads in the same page you reffered to here.

That's if you ever go to Thailand.

Open that portal and go to the travel services section. There you can find
that for instance at Don Muang there is an office open 24h a day to replace
cheques. We are talking about REPLACEMENT of American Express cheques. There
are locations in Thailand which are open every day for that process.

You must suffer from a brain damage. I have a Nordea Visa Classic and I DO
NOT GET REPLACEMENT BY DECENT TERMS IF AT ALL. YOU CAN FAGGOT BABBLE AS MUCH
AS YOU EVER WANT. CONSULT THE BANK IN A CASE YOU BEDOUIN DON'T TAKE IT AS I
SAY.

Ah. Your maturity shines through, as ever. Tell me something. If you
were a bank would you give decent terms to someone who acted like you?

It's perfectly plausible that you have a particularly bad bank that is not
willing to provide you with good service. I don't think anyone is interested
in denying that.

However, you always tend to extrapolate from the specific case of your
horrible bank to the general case of ATMs and banks around the world, as if
everyone else is subject to the miserable arrangement you have chosen in
Finland. That's where it becomes sort of silly and unhelpful.

Why all this? Tell me? I am talking about my case. I am merely saying that
those who has not a card replaceable could use some other media, for
instance TCs. I have said nothing, nothing else. It is you who seem to have
a fixation. I have not said what everybody else of anything. Go and
masturbate somewhere else. Moreover, the bank I am customer for, is the
largest in the Nordic countries. And you have similarly seen that there are
many other folks (non Finnish) who has been customers to lousy banks:
Australians, Germans...... I have merely pointed out about TCs (not of their
users heh heh):

1. they are money in secure form (once lost any of them you are given fresh
ones soon after)
2. they are economical to attract people to use them

Do not put words into my mouth. I don't like it. And try to sort that
fixation out. Contemporary set of plastic is NOT a final solution. I have
used them more than 20 years. And I have used them in Thailand too. So I
have used them in 20th century too.
