Check with your bank. I have one account at a bank based in Pennsylvania
where the savings portion of it is inaccessible from the ATM card that
came with it, but the checking account is accessible. I have a similar
situation with a bank based in New Jersey, but the ATM for my credit
union account works fine with checking and savings. I am referring to
ATMs here in the United States, not abroad.

I have found that one's local bank will be unlikely to have anyone who
knows enough to supply a reliable answer to any questions about card use
in foreign lands.

Keep it simple: Be sure your checking account is the card's primary
account; have a four digit PIN; don't remember your PIN as a word since
foreign machines won't have the letters on the buttons or, worse, will
use different letters on different buttons..

And ask to have your daily limit raised if you think you need it. $300 of
withdrawals in any 24-hour period seems to be the norm. But the trick is
to figure out when the 24 hours starts each day. If it's 24 hours by your
home local time, these times may be different in other time zones. And
remember the limit is in, for Americans, US dollars, so keep a rough
count of dollars you've withdrawn.

I was once very embarrassed just outside the Queens Theater in London
when I used a nearby ATM to withdraw some cash for an after-theater
repast with my English companions. I tried to withdraw 100 pounds and the
machine kept repeatedly rejecting my request, as an angry line grew
behind me. Finally I got smart and tried to get 80 pounds, and that
worked just fine. But I never did quite figure out when I had made he
earlier withdrawal.
