Hi guys!
Just wondering if anyone lives near here and knows of an actual darn bank machine that accepts Visa or Mastercard?? Its really amazing that no banks even have a single machine that can take an International card. I went to over 20 banks in the area. Even KEB near Balsan Sta. of all banks, doesn't have a Visa or Mastercard machine, and its supposed to have services for foreigners. I even asked them about it, but get a dumb reply.
Please don't say go to the subway and use the machine there, coz it only has a 200,000 Won limit. Now its a large enough amount for some, but i usually take out 500,000 Won at a time. Those "Nice" brand machines don't cut it.
Anyway, has anyone found a machine in the area?? |

My (as of now) ex-co-worker goes to KB Star just down from Outback, and he uses his visa from NZ there. He never has any problems there. Might want to get something written down in Korean, just in case. |

haha! i know that exact machine! i had been using it all along. except they got new ones in there the other day, like a couple days ago. The post office had a machine too, but got swapped for a new one with no VISA options
man, this is making me frustrated! i dont wanna have to go into a bank and wait 20-30 minutes, fork over passports and i.d just to get $300-500 out. plus i work most banking hours |
