How to Find ATM Machines Worldwide

By , About.com Guide

Before you leave home, find ATM machine locations in your destination with this handy search engine. You may assume they are everywhere, but in fact, they can be hard to find, especially in developing countries or remote areas. I once drove around a Mexican city for 30 minutes trying to find an ATM machine that worked or wasn't hidden in a closed bank - a list of locations would have been very helpful!

You can search by country and city, search for airport ATM's, or use an advanced search to find ATM's that are braille compatible, wheelchair accessible, open 24 hours and have PIN number change capabilities. You can also search by address or intersection.

A search for ATM machines in Sydney, Australia, turned up a list with a clickable map. Handy!

If you don't want to print out the list and/or maps, be sure to jot down the website in your trip journal or keep it in your wallet with your ATM card and check the list at a cyber cafe .
