Posts: 17I have a debit visa card from my Federal Credit Union, which serves as ATM as well; it has PLUS and NYCE signs on it. I always use it around the World, so to speak. I do not know which rate I am getting here: I assume that the rate in all ATM's is pretty good -- this is what I always hear.

Posts: 340What kind of card do you have? Are you paying the 15 peso charge on each withdrawal? What's the exchange rate you are getting?

Posts: 17Citibank ATM's
I went to Citibank near Alvear Palace, and got the same treatment as in all other banks: 1000 max and 16 pesos fee. Only one ATM (marked Banelco) accepted my card, others (Citibank terminals) did not, no matter how close they were to the front door.
I guess you need to have Citibank's own ATM card to enjoy higher amounts and lower fees.

Posts: 1009The citybank near the Alvear Palace let me take out 4k pesos at one shot a few months ago. It gives the last 100 in change also, one 50 and 5 10's.
There are 5 atms, the 2 closest to the bank entrance are the ones you want.
I have been using it for years, I hope it does not change!

Posts: 17Citibank also charges a fee
I went to three different Citibank ATM's, and they all had the same limit of 1000 pesos and charged that outrageous fee of 15 peses, as all the other ATM's in BA. Now, I have an ATM card which has international CURRIS sign on it, and a NYCE sign as well, but it is not a Citibank card; I am not a Citibank customer. Perhaps this is the reason for a discrepancy between the recommendation here and my own experience. There were Citibank terminals there which did not accept my card at all, and in each banch there was one "Cojero Automatico" terminal which did, but was as bad as all the other ones in BA.
I hate to pay those high fees, plus my own bank fee, and all of this for a relatively small amount of money.

Citi-Bank allows about 2500.00 pesos per day I think.
TL.
Chicas are quite a bit less per deposit or withdrawal!
By the way, try to receive as many small bils as possible!
Nobody except chicas and clubs accept change and never ever give a taxi driver a hundred peso bill!

Venues: 8In 4 years of living here, and using my ATM card at least once a week, I have never lost a card in a machine. I'm sure it happens, but no more often than, say, the States (where I also never lost a card)
But as Doggboy says, Citibank has the kind of machine you put the card in and pull it out again to read it. There's one at Callao and Alvear, one near 9 de Julio on Santa Fe, between 9 de Julio and Libertad, another within a block or two of Callao on Santa Fe. Also on Corrientes almost at the corner of Callao.
I HAVE tried to get money out of an ATM, the machine cogitates and makes like it's counting the money, then says "Please take your cash" when there is nothing there. On looking later, I discovered that indeed I was charged the amount I should have received but didn't. The first two times this happened I panicked, talked to the local bank and my bank, and was told by both that this was not uncommon and the bank who operates the ATM would give me a credit within a day or two. I didn't even have to file a claim. This has happened to me 4 times over the last 4 years, once at a Citibank ATM, and every time I have indeed received a refund within two days, usually within one.
BTW - I don't know if this is my bank, or something to do with some ATMS here or what, but I found out that I am getting bad conversion rates when I go to banks other than Citi.
That is, I know that Macro and Standard gave me HORRIBLE conversion rates, consistently, checking it in my account later. 3.77 last week, when a Citibank ATM gave me 3.92 the same week.
My bank only charges me $1.50 per transaction and I never get charged local ATM fees. So I'm not sure exactly why the bad exchange rate if it's not originating from the bank that operates the ATM.
At any rate, I now try to restrict my withdrawals to Citibank and for other reasons as well, such as I don't have a limit on how much I can take out at Citibank ATMs, except for the limit my bank itself puts on ATM withdrawals.
BTW - notice that in Citibank there are two different types of ATMs, as well as bill-paying machines. Citibank has regular Banelco ATMs that will act like an ATM in any other location - I. E. It will screw you on rate and not give you your ATM limit.
Make sure you go to the modern-looking machines, with touchscreen access. But their bill-paying machines look similar to that, so make sure you go to one that says ATM.
