    No not for free but I heard on the radio today due to the country being on such a tight budget (well some of us) that you will be able to withdraw as little as €5 euro from ATMs now.

    Nothing worst when you have €19.98 on a Wednesday night and you need some cash!

    Although I was in Madeira last year and I withdrew €300 from an ATM over there and in came out in €5 :o

    Not everywhere accepts cards yet which really is ridiculous with technologies that allow even a phone to become a card machine. Over in the states everywhere uses cards even the food vendors and buskers I have seen accepting card payment, unfortunitaly we still need cash over here and sometimes only a small amount so I am glad to see this is happening for those occasions where maybe you want to shop in the pound shop or similar.

    People go to ATMs to get fresh notes, when was the last time you saw a fresh fiver? they don't even give you fresh'un in the bank, sure they'd rip up going through the ATM.

    Was using an Ulster Bank one yesterday and it gave me the option to take out a €10. Think PTSB atms let you as well.

    I know the AIB ATM in DCU used to let you take out tenners too, for all the broke students :pac:

    But seriously, I was in a Bank in Brussels. around 11pm - basically a room at the side of the bank with 6 ATMs (a little like the BoI on O'Connell Street, Dublin) - glass doors - to get in you had to scan your debit card (My irish one worked).

    When using the ATMs you choose the amount you want to withdraw and then choose the denominations you want. e.g. withdrawing €200 you could choose 1 €50 note, 5x €20 3 x €10 and 4 x €5. It was brilliant. can't see why we can't have something like that here.

    Most Ulster Bank give out €10, when I worked in the bank BOI ATMs stocked €20s and €50s but rarely €10s and never €5s I guess the reason why they don't stock smaller dominations is because they are more prone to wear and tear - more likely to cause a jam in the hopper system.

    I remember when they used to give out £5, and it was enough for your curry chips and taxi home.

    :(

    Loads of machines near me give out tenners already anyway - student town...

    I'd prefer if they moved to UK style dispensing - smaller notes and a mix of them. £80 usually comes as 3x20 and 2x10, and you don't get 50s until you're taking out 200+

    Some irish people have problems enough using ATMs without adding that option.

    :P

    Last time I tried an ATM it said "Insufficient Funds"
    for a second I wasn't sure if it referred to me or them.

    One thing that annoys me about ATMs is where it gives you the option of taking 20/40/60 etc but then when you press it it goes "Must be in denominations of 50".

    Surely to **** the technology exists for an ATM to stop offering denominations of 20 when it doesn't have any of the ****ing things in the first place.

    Another thing re ATMs that annoys me; people who refer to them as ATM Machines.

    Yes I'll just go to the Automated Teller Machine Machine. :pac:
