How much cash? Where do you hide it?

Pac Safe Fans also - we use it for all of our travel and in Negril we use it for our passports and emergency credit card. I also scan the passports in and email them to myself "just in case". I had posted on the board in January about a problem at the ATM - I had tried 3 times to withdraw cash and not gotten any, but it had debited my account each time. I was quite panicked when the Scotia Bank didn't even take my info - telling me it would "correct itself in 2 days" so turned to the board to get some peace of mind. That was given, and rightly so because the account was indeed credited in 2 days I did learn that the NCB bank where I went as a second choice, charged only a 1/3 of what Scotia Bank had and I was glad that my husband and I take cards from 2 different accounts because while mine failed, his worked fine.

Good to know. I always used Scotia, just because of the trusted name. I will have to try NCB next time, if the fees are cheaper.

My home bank doesn't charge me to use an outside ATM, but I still have to pay the ATM "Owners Fee". At Scotia, I think it was around $5 per transaction on my last trip.

Good to hear your account properly credited!
