Bancomer has blocked all US ATM cards ..


from another post :

Bancomer has blocked ATM use for US debit cards since the 1st week if Jan. They told me they will not be revising their SW to allow US cards to work...

Any confirmation of this? Reasons why ?

Good to know, anyone using USBank or how about a US Credit Union debit card. Very timely topic and information, thanks.

On my last 2 trips south last year I had issues with the ATM at the San Ysidro boarder (inside the new immigration building) and my US Bank card, I had informed the bank I was travelling but it refused payment both times. I know that was probably to do with that particular location and not the new Bancomer problem so more of a heads up.

I used my card at Bancomer with no problems. As I posted then, you are given options to use various languages. The English option did not work. The Spanish option did. But after all it was in Mexico.

and some friends of ours have discovered that the options are sometimes wrong

he doesn't have a savings account, but in frustration when the checking account option did not produce, he tried it anyways and voila!! cash popped out. Certainly worth a try. This was in Vizcaino.

Still working in Mulege a couple of days ago. They do have a notice that you are limited to 7000p every two weeks. My last two withdrawals were only nine days apart. Who knows? It's Mexico.

BANCOMER charges [+ -] 85ps per transaction. Way more than most others. USBC for instance charges around 25. It's all right there on the screen during the transaction.

Withdrew 6000p from the San Felipe Bancomer ATM on Sunday with a Wells Fargo card (the Banamex ATM was out of order). Used the Spanish language option, did not try English. It did withdraw from my savings, although I thought I had selected checking.
