My card was taken by an ATM near my hotel in Morocco. Has this happened to anyone else? Solution?
Use branch ATMs only. Mine was swallowed at a random hotel lobby machine and there was no one to contact. Lost the card. Learned my lesson fast.
Happened in Chefchaouen. ATM ate my Wise card and no bank nearby to help. Just blocked it in the app and used my backup. Didn’t bother trying to get it back.
Yes, it happened to me in Casablanca at a BMCE ATM. I went straight to the branch the next morning with my passport and they were able to recover the card. Took about 30 minutes. If the machine is linked to a bank and it's during business hours, there's a good chance you can get it back.
Always use a ATM inside a branch. It happened last Friday at an CIH ATM. Went inside, staff was incredible helpful =). Got my card back in no time...
