ATM's

[Dec]

Having read previous threads regarding apartment security and the fears that even safety deposit books were at risk I was wondering if it made sence to leave your holiday dosh in your irish/uk bank account and withdraw it from the ATM's as you need it? Are ATM's readily available and reliable, and does most ATM cards work in them?


That cockroach thread is still macking me feel ill :(

Yes there are lots of cash point machine thingies here. Make sure your bank knows you are going abroad and so may be making more withdrawals than usual.

Same applies to credit cards for purchases...best to tell provider where you will be and when...this can save a security issues flagging up
