My tip is to have two accounts. I have my regular account, which has most of my money, and I have a "travel" account, which never contains more than a couple hundred dollars. I replenish the travel account as needed, by going online and transferring funds. That way, even if the worst happens and I lose everything from the travel account, I don't lose that much.

#10 just happened to me in Greece !! I had watched this video before traveling but I did not heed the advice as I should have. I used an ATM in Athens with a major bank name but not at the bank . The ATM kept my card and gave me no money . Fortunately for me , it was 11AM on a Friday and I could walk to that bank’s physical location for help. The bank was due to close for the weekend at 2 pm and I was to leave Athens on Sunday . What a mess that could have been as this was just the start of a 2 week trip ! I called my bank which reported that my bank card was fine and should work which it had done before this incident and after . I believe that the ATM machine was faulty . Nora’s tip on this is very important information!

A little something to tack on to online banking. Get the mobile app for your bank. If anything happens like your cards get lost you can lock it right away through the app. Can report it stolen and in some cases mark transactions as fraud. You can even move the balance from your checking account to an account not accessible by debit card :)

All great tips! Thank you so much for how to check for skimmers! I agree totally on using an ATM connected to a bank during office hours. Plus, in South America we found that ATMs did not always have money on the weekends. We also carry two different ATM cards if one doesn’t work. Finally, we always request an odd amount, like $290 instead of $300 so we get some small bills.
@NoraDunn
@NoraDunn Жыл бұрын
GREAT tip about requesting odd amounts so you get smaller bills! When I lived in Peru and Ecuador I never knew what to do with the large denominations the ATMs kicked out; it's hard to break them, especially in small marketplaces. I had to visit large supermarkets or department stores and buy something small just so I could get change.

Excellent video, Nora!! I knew them all except the cash advance one since I've luckily never had to do it, but had always thought of it as an emergency backup. Now I know how to do it properly if it comes to that! And with my memory, it's always great to reiterate this stuff in hopes that it sticks. haha 🙂 The only tip I'd add is to keep an eye on your surroundings, even at an inside-the-bank ATM: notice who's watching YOU! In the past few years, youtubers in Mexico have talked about a rash of robberies where someone is casually hanging out yet watches for ATM activity and calls a partner outside, who then follows you looking for the perfect time to mug you. So notice people loitering around with not business in the bank, or hanging around the ATM without using it and, if possible, hop into a taxi or uber the moment you leave the ATM rather than walk away on foot. Honestly, it's something we need to do everywhere! (and thanks for no music on this one, so much easier to pay attention to your amazing info) EDIT: also remembered another one where one person says you've dropped something so you look away from the machine while in the midst of the transaction, while the partner grabs your card or cash and runs. The tip was to always go with a second person who stands next to you and never looks away from the ATM no matter what, or stands next to you facing the other people in line so no one can sneak up on you. Doesn't do much for us solo folks, other than being aware and trusting our spidey senses before using the machine.

After withdrawing your money, get your card back and THEN ENSURE THAT THE SESSION IS FULLY CLOSED. This is important because sometimes it looks like it has closed, but instead, a few seconds later, it might ask "do you want to make another transaction?" and if you have already walked away, the next guy will say "yes" and proceed to revise your finances for you. I almost missed that recently, as at my home bank atms, withdrawing cash terminates the session engagement, but such is NOT necessarily the case elsewhere. Also, when entering your PIN, cover the whole keypad with your other hand to defeat any. camera positioned to capture your pin.

Good tips, one more trick is that ATM's are not the only dangerous place for a debit card - o'seas hotel clerks may take your debit card info for their friend in the US who then charges items before you even get home. This is less an issue in USA, where hotels generally want a credit card anyway. CC's can be hacked too, but your recourse is much better for "stolen" credit than debit. In addition, use an ATM that locals seem to be using, in the usual well-lit area, and bank-branded or at a bank, of course. You may also wish to even go into the bank (why Nora says to go during working hours) and ask for help if you are not comfortable, or it eats your plastic, or you finish x-action and no cash emerges, etc. Frankly, most of Nora's ATM advice (including private ATM's at convenience stores) applies to USA too, private ATM's are usually owned by the store or a guy renting it out, not a bank. So, it's a profit center, with appropriate fees 😁

I was a grocery manager, and part of the daily checklist for the front-end managers and gas station attendents was to check for skimmers. In fact, gas stations are easy prey since the pumps are out in the open, and many close down at night. Read recently that a Walgreens location had a skimmer, and it's right up front at the register!

Deb here. We stopped at a gas station in Maryland and I went in to get us drinks while my husband gasses up the van. He did not know it at the time, but there was a skimmer on the card reader. Later in the day the bank called him to see if he had made purchases elsewhere in Maryland and he said no. Since he used a credit card we were not obligated to pay the charges. The bank said to avoid this happening again, go inside to pay for the gas.

Most of the "Big 5" banks in Canada have various tiered types of accounts to choose from; consider choosing a tier that includes free foreign ATM withdrawals so you don't get popped for $5 each time. These types of accounts often come with a monthly fee, but that can be waived if you maintain a certain balance.

About 9 years back my daughter was not able to withdraw money from ATMs in Mexico for unknown reasons. She could not make purchases using her credit card either. After lengthy arguments with our (Austrian) bank it turned out that the response time of the Austrian (European) system was too long for the Mexican ATM machine (or system). - We then knew, that just a few international banks in Mexico (Bank of Scotland and HSBC) could communicate without problems with the European system. A few years later I had a similar experience in Peru. Whereas I had no problems to withdraw cash from ATMs in Lima, I could not do so in the province, when I needed it due to a health problem. I presume that that was for the same reason.

Yes, strange things happen. I used my Australian credit card in every country including some 'strange' ones. Suddenly in Spain it wouldn't work. Fortunately the friend I was staying with had wifi so I could make calls and hang out on hold to my bank who didn't know what was happening, forwarding me - more on hold- to the actual issuer of the card. Turned out in Spain I could only use a Citibank ATM... fortunately I was in a large enough city that there actually was one. I had almost no cash on me - lesson learned. I always carry a fair bit with me now. Cards are just too 'computer says no' for constant comfort.

In 2017, I was on vacation in the UK & Belgium... *Before* leaving home I acquired a Debit Card, it was NOT associated with my bank account in any way. I then pre-loaded it with 2500 GBP & 500 Euros for the trip (based on the amount of time I was spending in each country)... I used this card *exclusively* for the entire trip and ended the trip with about 300 GBP & 50 Euros left on it. (Yes I over estimated what I'd need & I knew I was doing so. Better to have it & not need it than to run out with a week of vacation left.) After I returned home I went to my bank and asked them to transfer the balance to my normal account AND do the international conversion then.

Great strategy! Prepaid travel cards can be great for overall security (not connected to your bank account), and also budgeting (can only spend the money on the card). It does come at a cost of fees to use the card and potentially higher conversion rates, but if the security and budgeting pros are important, it could be a justifiable fee.

I was banging on the bank window and yelling like a banshee in order to get my card back within the five minute window of opportunity. I got my card back! I also scope out bank ATMs that give the card back BEFORE dispensing cash so in case I space out, I get my card back.

Thanks, great information. I would add that some banks have partner banks in some countries. When I visited France (from US) a few years ago I checked the BankofAmerica website and they partnered with BNP Paribas and using BNP’s ATMs would avoid the non-BankofAmerica-ATM fee of $5. Still had to pay the 3% international transaction fee. Unfortunately I was in a small mountain village that only had an agricultural bank. Luckily I ordered euros from BOA that showed up in 3 days and I had estimated the right amount for 2 weeks $800. I brought crispy new $100 bills as a backup ($1,000), but I didn’t have to convert. We were in an AirBNB and I felt safe leaving cash back at the house hidden.

I remember when travelers cheques were the way to travel overseas. Fees less than 2%, cheques with serial numbers, and replaceable if stolen or lost. Far better than credit or debit cards. No scammers to steal your money and personal data. No lining up at atms wondering if you will get robbed. And great for buying stuff from individuals who did not have a business. Like buying a few books from someone on the street where you were staying. Great also for small purchases. Or for paying tips at restaurants and at airports. No hidden traps like the banks are springing on you at every turn now. And wait till the cashless economy comes, when your money deposits into your account expire after 6 days.

Wow! I'm not nearly as pessimistic about our current situation as compared to when we used travelers cheques. Perhaps I didn't travel in the "heyday" of travelers cheques - I found them difficult to cash, as they weren't widely accepted. I think the advances we have made technologically have more than made up for the challenges in managing it. But I do understand your point of view.

Yes, travellers' cheques were great.

They also gave you real-time awareness of how much you were spending.

As I spend a lot of time traveling to the neighboring towns, I've been had a few time when I've been charged 6€ for a 20€ withdrawal in Germany, 4€ for a 50€ withdrawal in Luxembourg, and based on my past experience I've learnt not to use it in Belgium but I've been told it's roughly the same, these fees are a real nuisance for the locals of these 4 bordering countries 😡

Never use public wifi to do any online booking, banking, etc. If you do be prepared to get all your details stolen... Never let your cards out of your sight. Never do this.

Some banks are complete a-holes and not friendly for international travel, like 5/3rd in Cincinnati is. On my first trip to Africa, I suffered refusals at the ATMs, card locked over and over, etc. Their call center is only open during the day (US Eastern time). Calling in seemed to only make it worse (rude). I nearly ended up homeless on the streets before finding a large international bank the card would work. Needless to say, when I got back to the US I couldn't close my account fast enough with them and switched to a bank that active military and veterans use (I'm a disabled vet) with zero issues when outside the US.
