[QUOTE="Albertagirl, post: 391404, member: 43403"] I used my PC Financial debit card for cash withdrawals on my camino, in conjunction with an app on my ipad. This was convenient for me, because I was able to check on all my banking and see what was going in and out of my accounts, paying bills and moving money around. I also took with me my Mastercard, which could be paid through the PC Financial app and was useful when I stayed in hotels. And I took, but never used, a credit union debit card. That served as my backup bank card if the PC card disappeared, as well as access to the funds in my savings account, if I ran out of money. But I knew before I left that it was for emergency use only, as the charge for each withdrawal is high and the amount which can be withdrawn each time is low. I looked into cash cards, but the risk of losing the card or having it stolen seemed too high and I needed to make transfers into and out of various PC accounts. On one occasion, I was followed and approached in the evening by an unknown local who was obviously trying to chat me up for some advantage to himself. I did not know at what point he began to follow me and I recalled that I had located a bank nearby and checked out the posted opening times, so I avoided that route and did not make a bank withdrawal the next morning. I had a small cash stash, kept separately, which was enough to tide me over. Remember that single women travelling alone can be targets, and keep alert when about to make bank withdrawals. [/QUOTE]
