ATM Machines for Travelers
Automatic Teller Machines, ATMs, are available in nearly every
country worldwide and are an ideal way to renew your supply of cash
when traveling.  ATM cards do at times fail to work, however; they
can be damaged, stolen, or become useless if trouble develops with
your account.
One strategy for travelers is to
carry two or even three different
cards,
each from a different bank.  Set up a wire or electronic
cash transfer, EFT, between banks well ahead of your trip so that
you can move cash between banks in case of a lost or damaged
ATM card.

ATM cards are a great way for overseas travelers to access funds
because unlike the credit card or debit card, only you can activate
the ATM Machine with your
private pin number.  This makes them
an ideal way for travelers to access cash at a fair exchange rate.  

Ideal that is except for the hefty
fees now charged by some banks.  
Although these fees could amount to $6 to $8 dollars USD per
transaction, the
convenience of ATM still tops other methods of
accessing cash while on the road.
To minimize the sting of the high fees charged by some banks,
always withdraw the maximum allowed each time you use the ATM.  

Debit Cards  
The debit card works like an ATM but also functions like a credit
card and this makes it a
potential problem for travelers.  If the
debit card is stolen or lost, and a thief uses it to make purchases,
the money will come
out of your account immediately;  Vacation
over.
Although you might have a debit card with your photo on the front
and think that you are protected, thieves can work with local clerks to
access your funds.

Credit Cards
The conventional credit card can also be used in most countries but
it to carriers a risk.  Lost or stolen it will be used to purchase easily
sold items to bring the thief cash.  Clerks rarely check ID.  The only
mitigating fact here is that the cash does not come out of your
account immediately.  You will have a month to deal with the problem
and will be able to continue with your vacation.
