Hey,
I'm heading to Bali soon and think I'll be using my Citibank Debit Card. Is there any specific ATM I should be using? For example I know in Japan, to only use the 7/11 ATM's.
I heard there aren't that many Citibank ATM's in Bali.
Thanks

Damn, thought it said "Bail and Citibank Card" lol
I went in April last year and had no issues with my Citibank Plus. Enjoy.
I'm not sure if Thailand is similar, but I went to Thailand and Vietnam and used whatever ATM I could find at the time with my Citibank Plus card. I don't believe you need to use a specific ATM as the card has no international transaction fees in general.
I got back on Monday from 2 weeks in Bali. I used my Citibank card for all ATM withdrawals.
There is an ATM Centre in Arrivals before you reach immigration.
ATMs issue 50,000 ($5) or 100,000 ($10) rupiah notes.
It's sometimes difficult to pay with 100,000 IDR notes but if you pull out max allowable, usually 1,500,000, in 50,000 IDR notes you end up with a lot of notes.
The "new" currency in Indonesia is k as in 50k or 100k notes.
Whichever bank I selected at random in ATM Centre didn't charge any fees. I used that bank's ATMs for all other withdrawals, because I knew they didn't charge any fees. I'm afraid I can't remember which one it was. I only went to banks to withdraw cash. There was always a security guard watching the ATM.
It's quite amazing to see CommBank and ANZ ATMs. I didn't use them.
Be very careful using any atm in Bali , a lot of skimming in Bali. If you do use one make sure it's inside a bank but even that is risky . You only need to read the Bali forums to see how bad it is . You will also get a better exchange rate with cash but again only use the larger money changers
