Throughout the major towns of Bhutan, you will find ATM kiosks of the major Bhutanese banks like the Bank of Bhutan, Druk PNB Bank and Bhutan National Bank. Money can be withdrawn from these ATM kiosks using some major credit cards such as Visa and MasterCard. It is to be noted that ATMs in Bhutan do not use the digital chips. Instead, magnetic strips are used, which may not be permitted by some foreign banks to make withdrawals. Also, at times the government of Bhutan blocks international ATM transactions for a brief time interval to tackle scams or some kind of frauds.
