| I want to know too. I'm opening an international city bank account next week. I have a feeling that their card should work. They are an international bank. |

| If you want an international ATM card from Citibank, make sure that you go to a Seoul branch. The former KorAm branches of the (newly merged) bank outside of Seoul won't be able to help you. |

KEB professional, courteous and fast. not at all what you would expect from a Korean bank. Take advantage of it as long as it lasts.
KEB works in Thailand, Taiwan, Japan and Canada. Cant answer for the rest. |

I was looking at the new EXPAT credit card from there site
http://www.yescard.co.kr/English/default.asp?/english/card/info/e_expat_card.asp?q=C0A87021189E001553189A9B8214488C0AB2453062B8D4
anyway I told the guy I will want this card to work abroad so I can get money out from ATMS as koreans can...
he says please hold... then says im sorry no!
then he says you can try for INWORLD card.. I asked him if that will work he said I dont know check with your KEB.. im like ummm you are the online keb rep!!! umm yes but im sorry.. hahahah man I love this country!! hahahaha
so well all these expat cards sound sweet and I will get one for here!
but this is not helping me with my travel plans!!
I guess I will just use my girls card make it simple... |
