Hi all,

finally there are now ATMs in Myanmar :-)

The CB Bank has installed 12 so called H22NL ATMs.

You can see this on their official website.

Here is the text from the site:

Co-operative Bank (CB Bank) soft opening of the 1st Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) for the customers at Head Office, Yangon on (1-11-2011). The service named as Easi Banking ATM service.

Starting from 8.11.2011 we will serve 24/7 ATM service at Head Office, Wizaya Branch, Mingalarzay Branch.

We’re continued to open others CB Bank’s Branch and Shopping Mall.

Best regards,

Ulrich

Hi,

thank you for your comment.

But it is true that you can pay your goods like a bottle of water with Kyats - So the information is nevertheless helpful - in my opinion.

Maybe you should check more info about this. As far as I know, Myanmar has been sanctioned by the Western World so I think foreign ATM cards cannot be used there. I think the ATM there is for those people who have bank accounts in Myanmar only. Like cell phones, most Burmese have cell phones but foreign cell phones cannot be used there. If you want to use your cell phone there, you have to buy a local SIM card.

I'd like to go back to Myanmar/Burma soon and avoiding the hassle of bringing brand new crisp clean spotless dollar notes sounds great.

How true is this on their ATM's accepting foreign cards? when i was there in February they had ATM's but only for the locals?
