Hi
There are ATMs all over the tourist areas that take cards with a "Cirrus" logo, nearly always located ouside the Circle K convenience shops or inside banks. I tend to use these for my large withdrawals. Sick and tired of Money exchangers who appear to be "honest", lull you into a false sense of security, then sting you when they are handing out nearly 1000000RP for a $100 exchange! Never go in by yourself, always have a friend watch to make sure that notes are not flipped off the desk at the last minute after they do a final "check".....grrrr...I hate those thieves. Stick with the banks, which may have a lower rate ( equiv to a lost $1) but are not going to rip you off.
