ATM in la manz or melaque US based card

Morning y’all…
Is there a trick to the atm in town next to the police station? Last year we could not get it to work with our card. It did ask for a cell phone # and I am not sure if that requires a MX number which we do not have.

Are there any banks/atm in melaque that are known to work with US atm cards? Withdrawal limits if known?

Thanks in advance!!

Krissy

All of the bank (not credit union) ATMs in Melaque should work (Banamex, Intercam/Kapital, Azteca, BBVA). They all have varying charges (I think BBVA is the highest) and always make sure you decline the bank’s exchange rate in favor of your home bank’s rate. The ATM in LM works for some cards but their fee is high and sometimes the withdrawal limit Is low. Depending on your card’s daily limit and the bank’s limit, you should be able to withdraw 8k to 10k pesos from a Melaque bank.

Thanks for the guidance. Struck out at banamex yesterday and for some reason I couldn’t get 800 numbers to work within melaque city limits. Weird as they work from here no problem. I will try again the next time we go in to melaque. It wasn’t an issue on my bank side as I called and it didnt even show a request made.

Interestingly enough the banamex was a Citibanamex when we previously drove thru town but it is does not display on the exterior of the building now.

My preferred ATMs are the two Banjercito at the front of the military base--on Hwy 200 just before the Melaque/Custacomate intersection. Banjercito is the Mexican federal bank for the armed forces. Current ATM charge 18 pesos.

Parking difficult. Usually access by parking exiting Melaque heading to La Manz (or do a uturn to park across Hwy).
