…and PNC Bank is also on my list of financial institutions that could care less about the average Joe.
Apparently when you travel to a foreign country INCLUDING CANADA VIA turns off your ATM card. My wife is currently traveling in Toronto and has NO ACCESS TO HER ACCOUNTS.
When I called my BANK, PNC Bank based in Maryland, and D.C. all they could do was tell me to call a VISA 800 number.
This has been going on for TWO DAYS and she has yet to be able to access an ATM there.
This was NEVER a problem beofre and now it apparently is a VERY BIG problem.
I am POISED to take all of my accounts out of my current bank PnC Bank for their INABILITY and UNWILLINGNESS to help my wife access her funds a few hundred miles outside of the USA.
When you travel to Canada be SURE to call VISA AND TAKE AMERICAN EXPRESS. I am calling American Express Gold Card people next!
I am SO TIRED of being treated like SCUM by so-called American businesses. Damn tired.
I will be traveling to Toronto myself in a few months. I will be carrying a MasterCard from a very large multinational bank, and a Visa card from a very small credit union. I will also be carrying both Canadian and American cash when I board the train.
Additionally, I will be notifying both financial institutions of my travel plans.
All of this comes out of my experience of traveling internationally over the years.
Heh. Ironically, the CAPTCHA says “Domestic Boulevard.” Hardly.
