Hi. I used my HSBC debit bank card in Moscow ATMs without any problems
through Feb 08. Now after 3 long calls, a replacement card, and dozens of
attempts to use the card over the last few months - HSBC has finally realized
that there is a "restriction on PIN-based transactions" in Moscow.
Now, don't you think they could have figured that out a bit sooner - it took
another hour and 1/2 call yesterday to finally get to that information after me
retelling several people why all there suggestions don't work (I've
tried). I went into Citibank, Alpha Bank and Sber Bank yesterday and
none of them could give me a cash advance at the cashier
counter either. Any chance someone on this list has figured
out a way to access HSBC accounts from inside Russia? The one and
only suggestion HSBC could give me was to wire funds from my HSBC account to a
Western Union and pay the fees. Nice.
Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!
