SOME ATM RULES
(courtesy of Morocco Time)

1. Never use an ATM at a bank that’s not open.

2. Have a “buffer” bank account. By that, I mean have a second checking or savings account for use overseas, not tied to your main account by overdraft protection or anything similar. When you need money, transfer funds into it from your main account. That way, if your debt card or account number is compromised, there is minimal damage, and you can cancel the account without completely inconveniencing yourself.

3. Don’t waste your time trying to be friendly when the situation involves your money. Be polite but firm.
