In Reply to: max withdrawal from ATM or a Bank? posted by juba anne on Wednesday, 22. September 2010 at 20:53 Bali Time:
Hi Juba.
I only used my card last time I was in Bali (don't like dealing with money changers, and fee is comparable to difference in actual exchange rate versus money changers exchange rate).
Used a lot of different ATMs, and the max withdrawal was different at each. As a general rule, ATMs dispensing 100,000 notes will let you withdraw more in one transaction - usually 2,000,000 is the max at these.
The Bii ATM opposite the Ramayana hotel will dispense the most in one transaction - from memory it was about 6,000,000.
Just bear in mind the ATMs that dispense 50,000 notes (they usually have a blue sticker on top of the ATM saying 50,000) usually only dispense 500,000 - 1,500,000 in one transaction - which can make it expensive.
