ATM's in Tripoli

Another one:

Ben Ashour Street (Embassy district around Quadisya Square). ATM at branch of BNP Paribas on the right side of the street half way between Quad Square and the unfinished grey mosque.

This one has only recently been installed and isn't operational just yet.

Are there any ATM's inside Tripoli airport ? I will fly into Tripoli then onward to Mas Al Brega and dont know if there's any over there ( Still to get WP and arrange start date with SIRTE)

Yes - I passed thru the airport yesterday and noticed an ATM in the departures hall. It's on the left side, near to the check in desks. Takes Visa and MC.

I take it from the above post's that it is pretty much a cash only culture, not much switch / credit card usage?

Yep

Cards are accepted at the bigger hotels & by the airlines, otherwise pack a wad of the folding stuff

Taking away "She Who Must Be Obeyed" cards is going to be a surgical procedure but has to be a money saver in the end:rolleyes:

More ATM machines spotted:

- Tower 1 ground floor of the 5 towers complex (can't remember the Libyan name)

- Corinthia Hotel

I think the towers complex may be called That El-Imad??? My husband works in a towers complex and this is the name on the mailing address.

John,

Best if you simply read through all these forum posts then ask specifica quetions.

Hi Guys

Do any of the ATMs take cards with only the PLUS symbol (not visa/mastercard)?

Gibraltar,

Although I have not been to all of those machines mentioned above, I have been to most and they do take PLUS cards. 

NB: I have heard reports of the That El-Imad machine eating cards for breakfast, (my husband works there as well Casey - are you SLB perhaps??).  We tend to avoid that machine at all costs.

The most reliable machine I've found is the Aman bank ATM in Tuesday Market. It also usually spits out 20's..

Sand and Laurieloo

I tried the Souq Thalatha ATM last week, no moola.  I'l be back tomorrow with fingers crossed.

Yes laurieloo, my husband is SLB.  Do you work here too?  If not, perhaps I'l meet you at the Caracol coffee shop tomorrow at 10:30 for the SSA coffee????

Casey,

No, I don't work.  I haven't really gotten into the SSA thing, (gave it a shot a while back and decided it was not my thing for a variety of reasons).  Hope you are enjoying it though and maybe we'll get a chance to meet in person one of these days - SLB can be a small world at times!

on gargaresh at the omega centre is where we usually draw money or further down by the police station..

Is there a fee charged for using the ATMs? or is it the daily rate?
