Thank you all for your help in this.
I have found plenty of ATM's that will give more cash, just not with a foreign card. I can make multiple withdraws, but I am trying to reduce the per-withdraw fee my bank charges. I have not tried all the ATM's yet (still need to try UNICREDIT), but for now unless I transfer to my bank here (also an option), 10,000 seems to be as much as I can get per withdraw. Again, thanks all for your help. ^Bernie Bernard Jacobsen Rayon Sviblovo Moscow Russia +7 (903) 700-3255 > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:expat- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Anthony Crawford > Sent: Monday, September 02, 2013 12:25 AM > To: The Moscow Expat List > Cc: The Moscow Expat List > Subject: Re: Expat List high limit ATMs? > > If you wire more than 15,000 USD to your Russian Citibank account, their "Moscow > Compliance Department" can freeze your account and make you prove the source > of your funds. > > This is hell and I hope nobody ever has to deal with them. > > I had the "pleasure" of dealing with these guys for 6 months before I got the > 110,000 USD released. > > > > > > On 01.09.2013, at 22:51, "Gary Sikes" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I have Citibank acct and have ruble acct and dollar acct.
