blankletmusic Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Are these fairly common or do most only accept cards with the magnetic stripe? Are most of the swipe variety or the machines where the card is drawn inside and disappears from view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Some do, some don't. I got a new card in Canada with NFC (Near Field Communication), whereby you hover your card over the machine at the checkout, gas tank, or ATM. This tech is very popular up there; has anyone seen it around here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I have not seen it in Mexico. But now I understand what that small picture meant about reading my card at a Seattle, Bank of America ATM machine. So sorry I have never seen it down south, but at least I know what to look for when I return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maw7815 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 CI Banco in Laguna Mall has an ATM that reads your card with a chip. They also have the lowest fee- $17.9 pesos to use their ATM. maw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 When I see 17.9 I think that could be the exchange rate between US dollars and Mexican pesos. I hope I am wrong and that this figure is the fee to use said ATM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudgirl Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Many ATMs in Mexico, maybe all as far as I know, will not accept a debit card that DOESN'T have a chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Berca Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Both of my Mexican banks have switched to chipped cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaponicsman Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 While your card likely has a chip in it, they all still have magnetic strips, as well. This way stores and ATMs that that do not have chip readers can still accept the cards. Machines that can read chips, are not supposed to allow the magnetic strips to be read and require the chip to be processed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
