40k ATM's in Port Louis?

Am not too sure that is correct info, but I think if you have an account at Banque Des Mascareignes you should be able to do so.

For MCB is 10K max, and I suppose for most other banks it's 20K.

Here's is the link: banquedesmascareignes.mu Banque des Mascareignes .Give them a shout, they might be in a better position to help!

Hello bepster!

I hope that you will soon get replies to your query.

I'm talking about credit cards issued by a European bank. With my local bank in Mauritius everything is fine, since there are no withdrawal charges here.

Anyway, to return to my initial query, and perhaps it might help others;

I managed to withdraw 30k in one go at SBM near Caudan in Port Louis today, but that was the only one I could find (in that area). Most ATM's had a limit of either 10 or 20k.

So, for 40k withdrawals I need to go to Tamarin ...

Have you actually been to any of the banks and asked them about their withdrawal limits, since most of the HQ are in PL (except for Barclays and HSBC which are in Ebene)?I find it strange that you don't have withdrawal charges, especially for credit cards. Anyway, good luck finding the info.

@islander

Yes, cheque books are great if your bank is local, but with a European credit card it's not possible to do that.

It's a small problem I guess, really, but I thought perhaps there were expats out there thinking the same thing.

Maybe I'm just too cheap

@alisa

It is not account related. It's not about the withdrawal limits on the account, it's about what the ATM's are capable of.

I can withdraw any amount (well, I wish) from any ATM but it depends on what the physical ATM can actually handle (or what the bank has decided is the limit for that ATM).

As for withdrawal charges, of course they are there if one would withdraw on credit, but that's not the case (in my case).
