MasterCard skrev:To: Cardholders of Maestro-branded EMV Cards issued outside of the Asia/Pacific Region
Re: Temporary Suspension of Maestro ATM Acceptance in Japan
Thank you very much for patronage with MasterCard. All Maestro-branded EMV cards issued outside of the Asia/Pacific region are temporarily unable to withdraw currency at domestic ATMs, while the regional ATM network is upgraded.
However, Maestro-branded EMV cards issued in the following countries are able to withdraw currency at domestic ATMs.
Netherlands
Canada
Maestro-branded EMV cards issued within the Asia/Pacific Region, Maestro-branded cards without EMV chip, MasterCard-branded cards, and Cirrus-branded cards are not affected by this temporary suspension of service. Cardholders can continue to be able to use these other MasterCard products at ATMs and merchants across Japan.
MasterCard is working with these customer financial institutions to enable full acceptance of all cards as soon as possible.
Please accept our deep apology for the inconvenience caused.
Som jag skrev i ett inlägg innan det är inte bara med 7-Eleven (7 & I Bank) utan MasterCard som har problem i Japan.När jag läser exv Seven Bank Discontinues ATM Services for Overseas-Issued MasterCard Brand Cards verkar det som att en konflikt mellan Seven Bank och Master Card ligger bakom beslutet.
Någon som kan bekräfta att Master Card fortfarande fungerar för uttag på Japan Post och Citibank?
Tack. Det var känslan jag fick efter att ha letat runt lite bland folks erfarenheter på nätet (vilket motsäger Dr. Miles information om att det är Master Card generellt som har problem).Fungerade på Citibank på i Hiroo, Tokyo så sent som för en vecka sedan. Dock kryllar det inte direkt av Citibanks i stan. PDF med adresser och karta
If you have a Mastercard, Maestro or Cirrus card on the other hand … like me … you’ll want to turn to Japan Post, the postal provider of Japan that pretty much has an ATM located in every one of their branches across the country. Note however that not all ATMs are available 24 hours a day… only central post office locations in the major cities offer 24 hour ATM service. Most others are available only during the post office’s business hours: those in major cities will have longer business hours, while those in more rural locations will have shorter hours and may be closed on weekends and holidays.
Citibank is another alternative, as they have bank locations in the major cities and at the main international airports.
One thing to note is that you can do an online search for Seven Bank ATMs in English through their website, while for Japan Post the search is only available in Japanese.
