Ive tried to use my Royal Bank ATM card in the U.S. a few times with no success (not recently, but....) and I wonder if anyone can confirm that Bonaire ATM's will accept my card? Lisa, did you try this?

I can confirm that my US ATM card works in Canada (a Royal Canadian Bank even)and in various Bonaire ATMS. I was in Canada a week ago using a Royal Canadain branch ATM and in Bonaire a few months ago using two or three different ATMs. They all worked.

Hi Deb: I've used my Canadian ATM bank card (Interac RBC card) on Bonaire (and Curacao) with no problems over a number of visits. Best part of using the ATM by the Cultimara grocery store is getting a choice of Papiamentu, Dutch or English to do your transaction in, and a choice of NAF guilders or US$ as a final result.

Deb, I second Fiona message. I also used my Scotia Bank card at the ATM by the Cultimara several times with no problem ( I have also used it in Cabo San Lucas). Bonaire was the first trip that I didn't take travellers checks with me and i was a bit nervous, but we had other backup cards but didn't have to use them. Have a backup ATM card and leave it in your room safe in case your other card gets demagnatized.

Deb, never mind. I see only 6 more sleeps so have an awesome time and don't forget to wave to us at the cams. We expect a full report when you return.
