Have to mention that Citibank on Nevsky in St Petersburg swallowed by bank card and displayed some crazy computer error and I was left without my ATM card for the rest of my trip. Apparently, Citibank there is not the same as here, cause here in New York not a single ATM has eatten my card in 12 years.


I think I used the same Citibank (between the Nevsky Metro and Hermitage?) with an Australian ATM card - no problems whatsoever.

In fact, the 3 weeks I was in Russia the only problem I ever had was that one ATM I tried to use was offline. Everywhere else was fine.

I've used it too, without mishap. Australian cards may taste very bland to this ATM. It might just eat cards that it finds "spicy" Very Happy
