So today was my first time to use the ATM and it was with a little difficulty.
The first ATM had a sign saying only VISA cards from a VN back would work.
The second one (Agri- something) allowed me to sign in but when I put in 3 mil. withdraw (rather than preset amounts offered) I think it declined the transaction. It gave a notice but I was distracted and it changed screens before I could read it.
We then went to another bank (VB I think) and it also declined the transaction.
Went across the street (VIB bank) and this time I took the max offered on the preset screen of 2 mil. and it went through. It was a little odd that it took so long for the money to come out, if I had not read, or didn't understand the confirmation of the trans action, I might have walked away assuming I was declined.
I say that because with only 2 language options, someone who does not read VN or Eng very well might have assumed it was declined, in fact I began to wonder if the earlier back was just slow in spitting out the cash. I will check my bank later and see what transacted and the fees.
I don't use a credit card and have never had one, I only use a debit card, I wonder if that was a factor in being rejected at 2 ATM's?
I have used my card with no problem in other..... (even out-of-the-way) countries.
