Cash Machine Withdrawals

[nicebutdim]

Anyone know of any building society/ banks that still let you withdraw up to �500 a day from a cash machine rather than the �300 that they all seem to have reduced it to?

*If* your card issuer limits you to �300 per day then it won't matter which cash machine you use.
If not, then someone more helpful than I might point you to an ATM.

My NatWest advantage gold accounts let me take out �500 from a cash point (aswell as a cheque guarantee limit of �250).

However, I know that this is not automatic - I have been a customer of theirs for many years.

nationwide went from �500 down to �300 about 3 months or so ago so i know what u mean

Have two accounts, that way you can have �600. Also,its better, just in case one card has a problem.

Woolwich Open Plan will let you withdraw �400 per day if that's any help.

or better still....at 11:55pm go to ur cash machine draw out what it lets u draw out and then 5 minutes later u can draw out the rest. i had to get �2000 all in 1 go once, i went to 3 diffrent nationwide's and went inside and asked for the maximum, it was like gettin blood out of a stone, they DO NOT like givin over the cash

gingerflaps, if you did this without notifying them then I'd say there was a whiff of suspicion when you went in.
Why not just phone them in advance and say "I'm paying a builder, can I collect a lump sum of �2000 next Tuesday? Ta love".
They don't like giving cash if it seems suspicious.

FirstDirect have an atm withdrawal limit of �500 per card per day.  If you have a joint account it will let both parties withdraw upto �500 each per day.
