ATM Borovets

Please be advised, as of today only the ATM inside the lobby of Flora Apartments is accepting UK Bank Cards.

Yep, the First Investment Machines are not accepting them at the minute (Rila Lobby / Outside Rila / Gondola Station and the Biohim Bank opposite Hotel Breza). They hope to solve the problem asap.

As of Feb 2012: I used the ATM in the foyer of the Rila hotel with a NatWest Visa debit card (and took out £100 worth of Leva, other posts have said max £40, but these were old posts), I saw other Brits using the ATM at the Gondola, I seem to remember there being an ATM opp. the gondola as well. There is also an ATM 20M to the left of the Rila hotel entrance (facing the Rila from the Nursery slopes) but it was out of money when I tried it.
Going again next week, and will update any more ...

Going again next week, and will update any more info when I get back if I remember.
P.S.Used a couple of the exchange booths and they are all pretty competitive (better rates than NatWest gave me due to charges) especially when you only want to change a small amount. They all take £ and Euro and lots of other currencys.

You can usually take a maximum of 400 Bgn at any one time you are only restricted if your uk bank restricts your daily amount.
