Any one know if I can use my UK Debit card to withdraw cash in an exchange shop. I have seen people use a credit card to do this. I am fed up with the ATM machines eating my card its such a hassle to get it back.

I have Seen Monexchange opposite Karakum Lemar advertising use of card but they do make a% charge. Not sure what it is

So will possibly your UK Bank charge for foreign currency exchange, especially HSBC, unless you have a Premier acc.

Money Exchange opposite Lemar in Karakum charge 3% on card transactions.

I use my Nationwide flex a/c card in the HSBC atm's and have done so for 8 years and dare I say it, have never had one gobbled up as yet. The one outside Supreme supermarket and outside theHABC bank in Girne dispence £50 notes. The one at Lemar in Karakum dispences £20 notes.

My card had been gobbled three times in as many months.
hsbc bank atm in town hsbc bank atm at supreme market and the turkbank atm.

Under the new terms and conditions for UK premier card holders they now charge for currency exchange.

Can I suggest TEB bank which is very near to the OLD MR Pound shop - used it often and never any probs.................... sterling, tl or euro's

C'pass

Like Compass I use both TEB and Garanti, but as your card has been "gobbled" so many times could it be that the card has become (or is becoming) corrupted in some way?
