Anyone else having problems using Debit Cards at POS? by travelr64
I have nos problems using my U.S. issued debit cards at the ATMs. Of course all the ATMs I can find in this part of Brazil are owned by Banco do Brasil, and they charge R$24 for each withdrawal and have a limit of R$1,000 per transaction. When I ...

Bland, if the reader won't read the card, it doesn't give you a receipt to get the name off of. Gee, sometimes I feel like I'm speaking Klingon or maybe tagolog. Read More

Last night I received an email from Chase stating there are no longer any foreign transaction fees with their card. So, from now on, I'll just use their card for everything. Problem solved. Read More

LOL . . . well, they aren't emitting any reciepts for me, the terminals do not read the card. I've never paud any attention to the text on the card reader. I'll look next time I use a credit card.. But wouldn't that just be the ... Read More

I'm not sure what you mean by "portable" card readers. These are hard wired into the cashier's terminals in the stores. Maybe that's what you mean. Anyway, I don't know who is the processor, but in speaking with my ... Read More

Mike, there is no person telling me my card won't work. I insert the card into the card reader and the reader says, "Modo invalido passe o cartao". Has nothing to do with any person or what they think or say. The card reader simply ... Read More

Don't know what happened that they closed my Paypal account. They won't tell me anything. They only say that because of security concerns my paypal account is closed. I even have some money in that account and they tell me I will not be ... Read More

Mike, I won't use Paypal because my first attempt to use paypal after arriving here in Brazil in Oct, paypal closed my account. I spent hours with them on skype trying to resolve the situation, but they kept telling me that my account is closed ... Read More

Jland, I think you are incorrect, simply because I have two different debit cards. One from my credit union, and one from HSBC Bank. Both cards bring the exact same results from various different stores, and both cards work fine in the ATMs. And ... Read More

Yes, BdB does have ATMs in grocery stores. That's what it says on the machine. I doubt there are any 24 hr ATMs in this area, if there were they would have to be outside, and I would never use an ATM that is not inside of a building. Fact ! ! ... Read More

Been using their ATMs in some of the grocery stores. I tried using my denit cards inside of their banks a few years back, and none of the machines I tried would accept the cards. Read More

No, that's not what I get. It says, "Modo Invalido Passe o cartão". I seriously doubt it's a bad card reader. Tried now in about 12 different stores around the metro area, No difference. In some of these stores I have ... Read More
