Does any one have experience using american or european Banks ATM cards in Nigeria? Has any one ever had problems with that?
Do the ATM machines there display logos like STAR,PLUS,Interlink,Mestro? Or just Visa logo?
I havent used foreign bank account ATM cards in Nigerian ATM machines before, but i have used the same ATM card in many different countries with no problem.. I think almost all banks around the world now have a standard ATM compatibility with each other as well as automatic currency conversion...
Any experienced comments please?

I used my U.S ATM card in Nigeria to withdraw cash with no problems at all. Infact I used it at several places (ATM at Shoprite in V.I, a bank ATM in V.I and also at an ATM in Warri). The ATM automatically converted the amount to Naira using the current exchange rate.

Thanks for the info... What is the usual maximum Naira limit per transaction? I know in US some machines only do $200 and many do up to $400 and some do $500 per ATM transaction..

Beware of using your US ATM cards in Nigeria as it can easily be cloned. Unlike Nigerian cards with added security like the microchip and Pin, US cards have just the magstripe.
