Hi can anyone tell me if you use a uk bank debit Visa card to withdraw money out of an atm, can you get a mini statement or even a balance? Would really appreciate anyone’s help on this.

A mini statement?  What’s that?

 

you can use your card.  Mine shows my balance after withdrawal but I didn’t like the exchange rate and fees so now I bring cash.  Just make sure you tell your bank that you will be in Thailand.  

When I use my US ATM card, sometimes it shows a balance, sometimes not.  May depend on the ATM parent bank.

A mini statement is a receipt showing how much you have withdrawn and your balace

In most ATM's in Thailand, a Mini-Statement is separate from the transaction receipt.  It is a special request in the ATM menu and usually details the previous 5 transactions and the balance. 

Dddave so you can get a statement although it’s a bank of Scotland visa debit card

Withdrawing money from a Thailand ATM with that card will be a painful experience for you.

 

If you take out £250 you will be hit with a 3% forex charge plus a £1.50 for withdrawing cash. On top of that, the Thai ATM will whack another £5.20 on top of that.

 

So with £250 there will be( £7.50 + £1.50 + £5.20) £14.20 in fees. 5.68%

 

If you took out £100 expect ( £3 + £1.50 + £5.20) £9.70 in charges. 9.7%

 

So always best to remove the max, which is £500 with your card.

£500 will attract (£15 + £1.50 + £5.20) £21.70 in fees. Around 4.35% 

 

It's a poor card for usage abroad. One of the worst.

Thanks for getting back to me , I never use a card in Thailand always take cash ,but take debit card for emergencies,and was just checking in case.

The Thai bank contacts an intermediate for authorisation, no statement available.

It's a few years that I used foreign (German) ATM cards (VISA) but never have I seen a balance of my foreign accounts.

As the accounts are online I usually go into the internet banking and see what happened (within an instant).

For Thai ATM cards yes (even at other bank).

But are you sure this works with foreign cards?

No.  I should have re-read the OP.  This is for Thai cards, not international.
