A question for my US friends...

[kellifer]

Do you guys have ATMs (Automatic Teller Machine) and PINs (Personal Identification number) for banking or is it called something else? I was just writing something and then thought... wait, am I doing that thing where I refer to a footpath when it's a sidewalk to you?

The Spanish has to be regional because it's not true where I live, and the charge is only if you're using another bank's machine. As long as I use my bank's ATM, I don't get charged a fee.

ooh, interesting. Even when I travel, I find the spanish/english machines, depending on how old they are. And yeah, I think most people don't have to pay a fee if they're using their own bank's ATM, provided their bank *has* an ATM. My credit union doesn't.

Maybe they never bothered with the Spanish/English thing because we have maybe twelve Hispanics in the entire valley. Not counting the illegals that get busted on the Interstate. *g*
