I use my AmSouth bank debit card for everything. Will I be able to use it in Korea? Are there certain US banks that I will have less trouble finding or using when I move to Korea?

If your card has the Visa or Mastercard logo on it, you should have no problem using it. Be aware of surcharges though. Bank of America charges me for each purchase I use - usually between 15 and 75 cents. It also costs 5 dollars to withdraw money from my US checking account.

The only US bank I've seen in Korea is CitiBank. From what I hear, though, they aren't linked. So, you can't use your US Citibank atm card in Korea. I could be wrong though.
