Can I withdraw money from a Korean bank account in US ATMs?

Upvote:2

When I lived there (2007-2012), KEB was the bank to use for a debit card that allowed foreign transactions. As far as I recall, even Citibank did not issue cards for foreigners to use outside of Korea- it was only KEB. It was a card you must ask for, and depending on the branch, the bank might be able to create one for you while you wait. Most importantly, getting the debit card you desire is largely due to the type of visa you carry. F (family) series visas will likely get you approved while the E-2 visa will likely get you denied. dda mentioned in the comments about how you should visit the HQ and get reliable information, as your local branch may not have an adequate English translator. If they do, they might be less likely/willing to help you engage in foreign financial transactions other than a plain remittance.
