I recently used my Irish bank laser card in a few banks in the UK and discovered that I can only withdraw a max of €150 even though I had approx €1,000 sitting in my account. In the past I have been able to withdraw up to £350 sterling easily as long as my account had the funds.
I rang the bank and they explained that I needed to use a UK bank which recognises my chip (this hasnt been an issue before and surely the UK bank recognises my chip if its allowing a £150 withdrawel). On trying to find a solution which would allow me to withdraw up to £400 I didnt get any clear answer and was told that the bank would take my feedback on board.
Just wondering if anyone has come across a similar situation. Its no big problem, the effect on me is that I will probably have to pay more bank charges for sterling witrhdrawel as I generally need more that £150 on trips to UK. I plan to write to the bank also and confirm my request.
