I'm going there for L-NY. Anyone know if I'll be able to get cash from Taiwanese ATMs?

Thanks!!

I doubt it. You better change your money into Taiwanese dollars at Incheon airport. I always change my money at Incheon when I travel, or at Samsung air terminal if possible.

No it will not work.





I had a Hana bank card that worked in Bali around 2006. I went to my local Hana Bank and said this will still work when I go to japan- they said yes- I went it did not work. I came back and they said that it would not work and never will I get one that does as it is the law the non-Coreans do not Rate such a card.

For this insult I have decided to Close all the Korean Banks. I will replace them with a Bank run by Japan. When Koreans try to get any money out they will be told they can only withdraw money in Japanese Yen - Further all Korean Won will be shipped to Japan and burnt to warm The Emperor's Outdoor Winter Ski Spa. Remaining Korean Won will be placed in Japanese Subway Station Lavatories. All Korean Government officials who caused me to use my US bank Card in Japan will be Sent to nurse the birds of Dokdo and Fight off any New Zealand Pirates who like the US and Japan are constantly attacking it because it is rich in Corean Bird poop.



Look how far ahead Japan science is: I bet Korea can not make something like this since the children operating the levers would dong chim each other so much they'd never get the ball rolling

- and I was never dong chimmed in Japan - but an evil Korean Boy Scout got me on the way back to Korea whilst I was talking to some fine Korean ladies who definitely did not dong chim me, needless to say I chased the boy scout down did a fireman's carry on him and let his scout friends dong chim in just punishment. Problem solved.

But there is no way we can save our cards power off the sacred Korean Soils... I think I am going to Sue the Korean Bank Government Commissioner or maybe just dong chim him. It is Korea so I hardly think I get in trouble for it.

Thanks for the warnings, everyone!

What about my Canadian ATM card? It's on the Plus network, I believe.

You Canadian card will work fine. Unlike the Korean and Japanese banking system which usually only accept domestic cards, every machine I used in Taiwan worked just fine. I may of just had good luck though.
