Free ATM Withdrawals in Morocco - Al Barid Bank
Posted: June 12 2024 | Tagged: ATM Withdrawal Fees, Morocco
Cash is King in Morocco and the Al Barid Bank ATM is the only fee-free ATM in Morocco. So, use Google Maps and search for: "Al Barid ATM near me". It couldn't be simpler.
This was a stroke of genius. I had taken the ferry from Algeciras to Tangier Med. I needed local money. I had 10 € to cash but the both banks at the Tangier Med Ferry Terminal in Morocco were closed and the kiosk which supposedly changed money was not staffed either.
A fellow traveller on the ferry was also in the same predicament. We had chatted on the boat. He was young and the subject of money came up. He had no Euros, no Dollars. Just one bank card.
It had been 12 years since I was last in Morocco. It could have gone cashless but I doubted it. But everywhere has ATMs now. The task of the traveller is now, to find which ATMs have free transactions. Withdrawal fees sure can mount up over time.
He had some mates meeting him and they informed us that the ONLY free ATM in Morocco was the Al Barid Bank, and there before us was an al BaridBank ATM.
Don't you just love it when the ATM starts counting money?
And no. Morocco hasn't gone cashless. Cash is very much still king here.
