Scandinavian webmasters, question about epassporte
 

I'm going to trip - Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark; and i want to ask you guys - i want to use epass electron visa card to withdraw money from ATM's and in local shops. Do i have expect some problems or withdraw and paying for goods are ok?

ATMs are no problem in any of those countries.
About shops its a bit harder to use in Denmark since we have our own Danish card that is accepted everywhere so not all places accept VISA Electron but look at the door when you go into a shop most places will have stickers on the door if they accept the Electron card.

I can't say anything about the use of the Electron card in shops in the other countries.

I don't think it works in shops in Norway. But Atm's should be fine!

Where in Norway are you going?

Works in ATM's and shops for me in Sweden.

I don't have exact plan, it should looks like this pic :

If you have any tip for interesting places to visit, you are welcome to post it :upsidedow

thanks to all for info

looks like great EURO trip :winkwink:
I will travel by car?

Should be no problem in Sweden, works good i all atm and at most shops. You should probably extend your trip in Sweden thou, alot of nice places to visit here in the summer.

In sweden it works on every ATM :)
I dont know for the shops ...

Visa Electron should work fine everywhere (Shops and ATMs) in Norway, I had one for a few years and never had any problems whit it.

It haven't worked in the ATM's I've tried here in Norway, I also have a friend who experienced the same (at least he got it to work 1 place)

thats a bit different info from what other talks. it didn't work in certain bank ATMs or in some town or area of Norway?

send me her contact, so i can confirm that she is a hottie :winkwink:

Well haven't tried it at that many ATM's, but the ones I did try it didn't even work to enter the card. So I wouldn't rely on it if I was you.
Have no idea how it works in stores.

great trip

nekde nad bergen nebo pod bergenem (uz si to nepamatuju) je neco jako norska riviera, v lete fakt pekny. jinak bergen az zase takova bomba neni, spis prumer.
rozhodne doporucuju fjordy. kdy tam jedes? jeste je na sever docela brzo.
jo a epassportem jsem vybiral bez problemu.

idem buduci tyzden, ale zacinam v Polsku; FIN, SWE a NOR bude na rade az prvy junovy tyzden /7.mesiac/, takze to tam uz bude hadam teplo. kedy si tam bol? ak mas nejake tipy, tak sa mi ozvi na ICQ, mal by si ma mat v kontakt liste.

I used my epassporte in both ATM's and stores in southern sweden just fine
