It's not limited to 7-11. They also have ATMs in shopping malls which work just fine. In fact, I have only withdrawn money from a 7-11 ATM only once after I went to a Japanese bank in Neyagawa which wouldn't take my card. But the tellers in the bank were so kind to point me to the next 7-11 ATM at the main station. Last time, I even used my German VISA card to pay for my groceries at Mandai supermarket because I ran out of cash and to my surprise, it just worked. Adrian -- .''`.
