Choosing an ATM

Find an ATM that works for you

When withdrawing cash with your Kadmos card, it’s important to choose the right ATM to avoid unnecessary fees and ensure a smooth transaction. Here’s what to keep in mind when selecting an ATM:

‍

1. Look for ATMs That Accept VISA Cards

Your Kadmos card operates on the VISA network, so you need to find ATMs that accept VISA cards. Most ATMs around the world do, but it’s always good to double-check before inserting your card. Look for the VISA logo on the ATM or in the bank’s signage.

Tip: You can use the VISA ATM Locator to find the nearest ATM that accepts VISA cards wherever you are.

‍

2. Check for ATM Operator Fees

ATM operators often charge a fee for using their machines. This fee will be displayed on the ATM screen before you confirm the withdrawal. If the fee seems too high, you can cancel the transaction and find another ATM with a lower fee. Always compare fees to keep your costs down.

‍

3. Always Reject Currency Conversions

If you’re withdrawing in a foreign country, the ATM might offer to convert the currency for you and it usually comes with a poor exchange rate that’s not in your favor. Always reject the suggested conversion to benefit from Kadmos' better FX rates. This small step can save you a lot of money in the long run.

‍

4. Use Trusted ATM Networks

Whenever possible, stick to ATMs from well-known banks or trusted networks. They tend to be more reliable and transparent about their fees. If you're unsure, refer to the VISA ATM locator to ensure you’re using a trusted machine.

Pro Tip: Always check for the VISA logo, compare operator fees, and reject any currency conversion offers to get the best rates. For added convenience, use the VISA ATM Locator to find nearby ATMs that work with your Kadmos card.
