When You Need Me (1999)  Cashpoints - "Bankomat" or - Банкомат  Cashpoints can be found all over the city. Some are only for people who bank at a particular bank - others take international credit and debit cards. You will see the ones that you can use, because they have VISA or MasterCard stickers. There are a number of foreign banks operating in Kiev, namely BNP and Raffaisen Bank. The maximum amount you can take out varies from bank to bank. For security some machines ask you first to check the machine and confirm it has not been tampered with before you enter your security code. But anything up to 5,000 Hryvna (180 Euros) is possible in most cashpoints. The cashpoints offer instructions in several languages (including English), and detect this when you insert your card. The banks in Kyiv will charge a fee of about 1.50 EUR for using the machine. Some machines give you your card back before the cash, some work the other way around.
