Hi all,
for past LGMs in Canada, it has been rather easy for Europeans to pay
and use ATMs with their debit cards, especially the Maestro ones,
without having to use a credit card.
This is different now:
Some European banks have begun to issue V-PAY cards (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_PAY for details). These are no good
outside of Europe - this means no cash from ATMs, and no paying anywhere.
So...
- if you are from Europe and you got a credit card, bring it
- if you do so, make sure that you know its PIN
- and verify that it works before you arrive here
