Hey,

I've recently come upon a situation where I need a bit of cash in hand. I have a Canadian credit card but I don't know the PIN (its not though my home bank). It would take too long to call and have them mail it to me.

Can I just go into a bank and ask for a withdrawl on the card? I can show ID and all that. I've never been in a situation like this, so help is appreciated. I don't want to go in there and have them think I'm an idiot, or worse think that the thing is stolen. I don't use the card too much, although I'm now regretting not learning the PIN.

Thanks!

Sorry, despite my 'location' I'm actually in Seoul, not Canada.

You could try. Why don't you take a Korean friend to the bank with you, have him/her explain and ask. Or, just get the number and have someone call the bank and ask.

When i first came to korea i lost my bank card upon arrival.. not sure how but it was lost. and all i had was my credit card. I rarely seldom use my card and have never taken a cash advance on it.. and i too forgot my pin number.

I went to the KEB in itaewon and gave them my passport and they were happy to give me a cash advance on it, even though i couldnt remember my pin number.

good luck . Smile
