When the first ATM was introduced (see photo) there was an excitement about the idea of the unlimited withdraw of cash, of course depending on the amount present at your account. Nowadays the ATM’s in Buenos Aires are not so generous anymore, unless the balance at your account. Of course there are thousands or maybe millions ATM’s in our Capital Federal, but the chance to take out dollars is not so big, to say, just a few machines are giving dollars.
Also the amount of pesos to withdraw has it’s daily limit. About 500 until 1000 pesos is the machine willing to give you, but after that it applies to your creativity and patience, maybe you have an other card or you just wait until tomorrow…..anyway there is no use to get angry or make a claim at your bank, this only will cost you time and won’t give any results.
Just be prepared and if you are traveling a lot, inform the bank a few days in advance in which country you are going to use the ATM, so they know it is not a robbed card traveling from country to country, but it’s YOU, using your card and traveling from country to country!
So, to quote the words of Jason, an appreciated visitor of Stay in Buenos Aires…the bank knows better where you are hanging out than your mother!
