sceadugenga Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Sounds strange to me. Have you tried making an "over the counter" cash withdrawal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceadugenga Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 None of them are "Visa" or "Cirrus" cards I take it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardy1943 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 used them for 5 years mostly Siam Com, all card are in perfect condition. Will have wife try them again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatrickid Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 None of them are "Visa" or "Cirrus" cards I take it? Maestro (Mastercard clearinghouse) Plus (Visa clearinghouse) on back of cards should also allow transaction. Most important though is Cirrus. Have you contacted US bank as they may have been frozen for security reasons, if there were alot of transactions. My bank did that last month. Turned out I had set my limits too low. They fixed it with a short email. I've been withdrawing money like nam. Now if only the ATM could replensih my current account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
think_too_mut Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) It's most likely end of year system maintenance/changes that require interbanks comm links to be suspended. Overnight, when US comes to work, or even evening US time, it should all be OK. My Citibank card issued in Japan did not work for 3 days (Jan 1-3) with other banks ATMs where it usualy does work, yesterday back to normal.

Lancelot Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Used my US issued ATM card at a Bangkok Bank ATM on Jan3, no problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
think_too_mut Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Used my US issued ATM card at a Bangkok Bank ATM on Jan3, no problems... It goes even finer than that, down to an individual ATM. That you had no problems means nothing to the very next person trying to take money from the very same ATM. Simply, the ATMs have software inside (it's a Windows PC) that can be (and is) set to monitor the money dispenser and if the withdrawals are plenty or large, it can block non-customer ATM cards. Let their own ATM card holders have no problems. Fences off other Thai banks too, not only international. Almost routinely used by all banks during holidays when replenishing is less frequent.

sceadugenga Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Thanks for that t_t_m, I never realised that. (High finance was never my strong point). It certainly explains why the ATMs I use regularly occasionally don't want to know me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
