they do. i think the only problem people have is those cards with rounded corners.

now here's my tip. if anyone in the queue in front of you is brandishing a savings book, save yourself a 20 minute wait while they struggle with the concept of computerisation, and go to another machine. one in front of me the other day was reading all the menus out loud before deciding on which button to press.

Another tip for ATM's on the 'prom' round San Antonio Bay:-

Watch out they get very hot and the metal faced buttons can damn near burn your fingerprints off :rofl

get a nationwide flex card.good rates and they don;t charge you.just make sure you got enough in account.and you dont have to inform your bank if you are going away.not like natwest.ect...fraud squad will phone you up if not.and your card could be stopped

Hi
does anyone know if there are any ATM's in Es Cana? I know where they are in Sta Eu but didn't want to be having to travel around with much money on me if there's one nearer.
Mind you if the euro doesn't pick up soon i'll not be having that much money anyway, i looked today & the highest was M&S -1.2000!!!

thanks

We used one right in the centre - just by the Mar y Huerta (I think). It's just after the part where the pavement dissappears and you have to go on the road !

Hi spanish and welcome to HT!

I have merged your post with an existing topic on money and ATM's which should have some information.

Spanish,

I think there are at least 2 or 3 in Es Cana.

We used the one right in the centre (see post above) with no problems last year.

I still have not converted my money as I still feel the exchange rate is poor. I am considering taking my money with me and changing it when I am there too. Does anyone know what exchange rate I might get out there and where is best in San An area to change my money?
Reply
san an will have a very poor rate i tell you that now...where i live its 123 today ilkeston derbyshire...

I think that they play on the fact that once your there you have no choice but to change your money,so they give you a lousey rate, even worse than here! I found that out in october in Fuerteventura, I could of got a slightly better rate at home.

i always find the best rate is by using the cashpoints over there. mo.
