Something that every guide book should have printed on their maps is the location of VISA, PLUS, MAESTRO, Cirrus and MasterCard friendly ATM’s for that city. Why? Well most of us modern traveller’s travel with ATM cards from our home country because they provide an easy, efficient and cheap(ATM exchange rates are usually based on the wholesale rate reserved for interbank transfers) method of getting cash internationally. Most of the banks nowadays are aligned with the Plus, Cirrus or Maestro to allow access to your money when travelling.
Furthermore with the advent and take up of Visa/MasterCard Debit cards more and more travellers will be looking to use these cards in foreign ATM’s. Luckily the web comes to the travellers aid as usual and provides us with the information:
VISA and Plus – http://visa.via.infonow.net/locator/global/
MasterCard and Maestro – http://www.mastercard.com/us/personal/en/cardholderservices/atmlocations/index.html
Now we just need a IPhone app that does this!
