It’s rare to come across places that don’t offer payment with your debit card, but it’s still important to know where the nearest ATM is when you’re traveling. For one thing, you don’t want to be stuck if you do need cash, and for another, if you use the right bank you’ll save on fees.

No one wants to waste time walking around looking for an ATM, so use the ATM Locator website to track down the closest machine in over 170 different locations. The site is simple to use. You just type in an address (your hotel, the restaurant you’re sitting in, the building on the corner, whatever), and you’ll be given a map that shows you the ATMs that are closest to your current location. Heading to a museum? Type in the address and you’ll know where your ATM of choice is located along the way. You can even get detailed information about the bank and what services are offered by hovering over each one on the map.

A nice touch is that once you’ve entered your area, you can also specify your own banking institution so that you don’t have to pay banking fees at another bank’s machine. Handy!

It’s compatible with most web-based cell phone programs as well, so it’s very convenient for on-the-go money grabbing needs.
