Australian Eftpos card at 7 Eleven

Can anyone tell me if they have recently (since December) used an Australian Eftpos card at a 7 Eleven to access cheque or savings accounts. If so what bank the card was from and what symbols are on the back of the card (eg interlink, eftpos, maestro etc). Thanks.

Haven't used one since December so can't specifically answer your question but

It will need to be a VISA DEBIT card, not just an EFTPOS ATM card.
Your bank should know...btw Westpac don't issue Visa Debits..so if you are with Westpac you'll need to use Post Offices

Hey,

I was in Japan between the 10th-21st of February of this year and tried to use my regular Commonwealth Bank eftpos card (Maestro and Cirrus symbols) at various 7-Elevens across the country to access my savings account.

I'd put my card in, select an english guide but my card would be rejected.

A message would come up telling me that the service was temporarily unavailable. At first I'd thought it was the particular ATM I was using, but after trying several 7-Eleven ATM's, the same message kept popping up.

For the rest of my trip I resorted to the post-offices and JP bank ATMS.

I hope this helps :)

According to the 7-11 Seven bank internet site the cards should have a PLUS logo to work, not Cirrus or Maestro.

Has anyone been to Japan recently and used a Visa Debit card to get cash from ATMs?

Hello, I was recently in Japan with a Commonwealth ATM card & also a ANZ Visa debt card. The ONLY places I could use these for cash withdrawals (& I tried everywhere) were either at Post Office ATMs or at Citibank ATMs. Most major train stations had a Post Office ATM & check the Citibank JP website for locations.

Hope this helps.

Maybe so, but 7-11 now do not accept mastercard: it changed recently.

so no more using mastercard and commonwealth bank cards at 7-11 ??

does anyone know the date it stopped working ?? im assuming the start of 2010 some time ??
