Yes. You'll need to carefully read the terms and conditions, but I expect you will find there is a significant foreign transaction fee on each transaction, in addition to being charged an exchange rate.and if they do accept them, would we get screwed on the conversion factor.
I usually take out enough cash for 3-4 days at a time, and keep enough for each day on my person and the rest in the hotel safe - with my passport.

I won't claim expertise on card skimming but it seems to me they need both your account number AND your secret PIN code. "Protect your PIN" is more than a slogan. I always cover one hand with the other to conceal my PIN. That hidden camera will need x-ray vision.

Good idea to use everywhere...however, I have been searching the web regarding info on card skimming since this happened to me. Apparently, this doesn't always help. These devious dudes even use fake pin pads placed over existing ones...that look the same..in order to obtain the PIN. Next trip, I plan to use the one inside the bank. I have been inside the NS Bank before to cash Travelers Checks (when I use to be able to get them) but didn't really see an ATM. I am glad that someone posted the information regarding the presence of these.

I have found a simple solution for travel money, that has worked great for me for years, but might not for everyone. I opened an account in a different bank, besides my bank where
I have my regular checking account. I use it strictly for travel and only keep an amount that I think I'm going to need , maybe a little extra.... so that way if
my account ever gets messed with, it won't hurt me to much.
Several of the ATMs in town are branded as NCB or Scotia. I expect those are on the bank's network
