Visa Makes Locating Worldwide ATMs Easier

10-14-2008

Whether they are visiting Moscow or the Maldives, Visa cardholders on the go can now find ATMs where they can access funds via debit, credit or prepaid card using a mobile device.

 

Visa’s ATM Locator is a valuable tool for tourists, as it makes it quicker, easier and more convenient to find a local ATM in markets around the globe where they can access funds in local currency. Visa cardholders no longer have to rely on directions from the locals – they can obtain the following information with a few clicks:

·         Locate ATMs searching by city, address and postal code, and search for specific institutions or airports

·         Obtain detailed information on individual ATMs including hours of operation and wheelchair accessibility, Braille or balance inquiry capabilities

·         Access to maps for some countries, including Australia, Brazil, Spain, the U.K., U.S. and other European countries

 

For example, a Visa cardholder visiting the United Kingdom can locate ATMs where they can access funds upon their arrival in Heathrow, Gatwick or Bristol airport – as well as neighborhood ATMs in London. This way, tourists can spend less time trying to find a financial institution and quickly access the funds they need so they can enjoy their trip.

 

The Visa Global ATM Network offers access to cash to more than 1.4 billion Visa and Plus cardholders at over 1.2 million ATMs in more than 170 countries. Cardholders can access the Visa/Plus ATM locator through their mobile device at www.visa.com/mobileatm .
