Herman Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 If everyone is relying on their ATM card for everything, what do you do if it gets lost? Will a US bank send a replacement card to Mexico? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jreboll Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 This won’t answer your question but... I have 2 cards with two different American banks and able to transfer funds from one to the other. I keep one safely at home and travel with the other.

tomgates Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I have a mailbox at iShop that has a Laredo, TX address. All my important mail has the Laredo address as the billing address. Cards get to me here via that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMactavish Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 25 minutes ago, Herman said: Will a US bank send a replacement card to Mexico? My experiences: USAA will and if you explain the Mex Post problem, they will send it via UPS. Capital One will if you claim you are a world traveler and for $25 USD FedEx it to you. Jerboll gives good advice, I do it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Berca Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 If I lose mine I just walk into my local Mexican bank and walk out with a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Our U.S. bank sent our replacement cards to our P.O. box in Chapala registered mail. We had to sign for them. We have had new cards delivered to our house by the same bank using FedEx. So in both cases, this major U.S. bank has had no problem with our MX address. We have lived in MX 21 years and used the same U.S. bank with no problems receiving cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solajijic Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Open one or two savings accounts connected to your checking account and get debit cards for checking account, Savings 1 and Savings 2. Then transfer between them. If one card gets eaten you have two remaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Liana Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I bank with two major USA banks and in the last 20+ years have never had a problem receiving a debit or credit card sent via FedEx or UPS to my Mexico address. The time from request to receipt is never more than 2 days. Prior to 20 years ago, it was almost always a problem. Things have improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputnik Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 until you get a new debit card you can use XOOM and have money sent from your bank to walmart (and other places) and pick up immediately $4.99 fee for up to $900 US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
