Re: Aarrgghh! I can't get any money out! please help
Thanks everyone, your replies have given me a lot to think about. It seems as though I'm certainly not the only one having this problem.
I will try a few of the suggestions and let you know if I have any luck.
Thanks again
Hugh

It is the chip and pin technology, Canada has yet to implement it and most ATM's do not read the new UK cards correctly. You should try RBC in branch ATM's (not the drive-through's) and you might be OK. My Canadian Visa card had to be manually processed when I went back in Jan in a couple of shops, as it was not chip and pin and my "debit" card (Interac) needs a PIN in stores, so I had to just get cash when I needed it. I was able to use my RBC bank card in most ATM machines in the UK, but the OH had huge problems with his card from another bank. He has now switched to RBC.
