Scotiabank atm issue again
Remembered reading about folks having problems earlier this year, and I did today with my BMO debit. I've used Scotia for some years with no problem (albeit at CM in November, not on Benito Juarez). Today I tried 3 times, twice at 6,000, which wasn't a problem previous years, and last at 3,000, at the security guards urging. A Mexicana before me had some problem, and sought help, but a gringa after me was ok. Anyway,I got no plata, but get an e-mail from BMO that my account has been debited, so wait in line for the counter staff, get told to call my bank. Waiting to see the Gerencia, and get an e-mail that my account has been credited back the amount...to be continued...

Yes had that happen at HSBC in Ixtapa a few years back, CIBC said up to 7 weeks it can take to make sure ATM machine shows imbalance as they are independent owned in this case and it took almost that much time but I did get a credit. Other nonCanadian banks credited their customers right away at least the last thread on this topic.

I live in Los Cabos and always use HSBC and every 1st of the month I take out 13,000 pesos with my Citibank credit card at one time. I tried Scotia one time here and wouldn't take my card. HSBC in Ixtapa was good as I recall.

Yes, I'll use HSBC or Santander, no mas Scotiabank. BMO, predictably, blamed Scotia....

Used the HSBC machine this morning at CM,no problema, rate on my BMO debit card was .0700391, to be exact. At the other end of the scale, the sign at the cambio by Zorro's said 12 pesos per CDN.....0833

Thank you I looked into rates earlier in the week at the CIBC for a international money order and it was a hair over 13 which is good.

Why wouldn't you get a Scotia card
We don't bank at Scotia other than having a account only for Mexico
No transaction fee

I get two free w/d a month internationally with BMO, which usually suffices, along with my no FX surcharge Cap One card.I still pay the local fee atm though, and I noticed it was 99 pesos at Scotia, while it was 33 at the HSBC machine...Scotia not worth it imho.
Tangerine Instead

I opened an account with Tangerine. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of ScotiaBank. Online only.
I pay no fees to Tangerine and get no-charge withdrawals at ScotiaBank when in Mexico.
This has worked out well for me.
