My card was taken by an ATM near my hotel in Brazil. Has this happened to anyone else? Solution?
Happened to me once in Recife. Used an Itaú ATM late at night, no receipt, no card back. Called their support and was told it auto-locks foreign cards sometimes. Blocked it through my banking app and switched to cash next day. Always safer to withdraw during the day and at a proper branch.
yea man my revolut got eaten in florianopolis. atm was outside a petrol station. called the number on the atm and they just said “card destroyed” 😓 always carry 2 cards now. lesson learned
Same thing in Salvador. ATM just took my card and screen froze. I waited 10 minutes, then walked into the Banco do Brasil branch the next morning with my passport. They had it and returned it. Hope you get yours too
yes, this happened to me at a Banco24Horas ATM in Rio. I went to the nearby Bradesco branch, but they couldn’t help since it wasn’t their machine. If it’s not inside a bank, it’s usually managed by a third party, so block the card ASAP and contact your home bank. I used my backup Wise card after that.
