The screens on ATM's that state how much may be withdrawn are correct and incorrect.
Our ATM's of choice are Santander, with Bancomer as our second. The screen states a limit of (I think) 4,000p WITH THEIR CARD.
Our US card has a daily limit of 1,000 dollars, or the equivalent in pesos. So, we do multiple transactions, in a row, with the 34p fee for each one, until we are up to what we want.
For the first time ever, since ATM's arrived in Mexico, we had an issue in January. One of our multiple withdrawals didn't spit out the cash. The first two did. The young man who is always in the room to teach ATM use tried to explain to us that we were over our limit. We went home, went on line, and our bank took care of us. The next day when we needed even more money (we're remodeling our home) we had the young man watch us do three transactions. THEN he understood that bank policies vary from bank to bank.
Moral of the story: At least with Bancomer and Santander, the daily limit for withdrawals is what your US or Canadian bank has set with you.
