How does my card work at an ATM?

The ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) may let you obtain funds available on your card. ATM networks consist of many providers. To determine if your card can be used at a particular ATM, look for the logo on the back of the card. If the logo is also located on the ATM, your card can be used at that ATM. Withdrawal limits at ATMs may vary since they are set by the bank issuing the card as well as the company operating the individual ATM device (knows as the ATM acquirer). For example, although the bank may establish your daily withdrawal limit at $1000 (for travel and payout cards), the ATM you choose may be limited by the ATM acquirer to providing a lower amount. Various factors, such as financials, banking or government regulations, result in different requirements in different countries.
