Credit/Debit/Prepaid: ATM Card without daily withdrawal limit?
Comments

            No bank within the EEA is going to allow this. It sets so many fraud and money laundering alarm bells going.
If you want that much cash it needs a branch visit, ID and a good reason for needing that amount of cash.0 - 
            Can you leave some money in the ATM for the rest of us please.0

            There is no possible reason why anybody would need to withdraw such large amounts of cash on a daily basis from foreign ATM's. You will never be able to obtain a card which allows this. You will never find an ATM which would allow this in one transaction either.
Have you considered that the four figure foreign transaction fee on this withdrawal?0 - 
            Can you imagine seeing somebody withdrawing such an amount and laughing at them while they cope with the notes coming out of the machine ... just before they get mugged.0

            lr1277 there are multiple ATMs to use. Not only one.
boo_star flight ticket to the country where branch is located would cost a lot and time consuming also. However I am yet to open such bank account, I am just searching for ATM card.
Multiple large withdrawals in close proximity are very likely going to result in the account being locked, especially if such withdrawals are in a foreign country.0 - 
            At least 50000 EUR daily ATM cash withdrawal limit or above, this is around 41840 GBP.
It's simply not going to happen. Far too much risk for the bank. It would be illegal for the bank because of money-laundering in most jurisdictions as well.boo_star flight ticket to the country where branch is located would cost a lot and time consuming also. However I am yet to open such bank account, I am just searching for ATM card.
How do you know where the branch is located if you haven't opened an account yet?
The only bank which will give you such an offer will be one where your money isn't safe. One which is itself pulling a scam.0 -

            SnowTiger: I need to receive few wire transfers on bank account, I am yet to open, linked to the card we are talking about. Or, if prepaid card, directly to the card as long as it has own wire account details (with or without memo reference). However it is most likely that I won't find prepaid card with large enough available balance limit but we are talking about different limit here: daily ATM withdrawal limit in EUR cash. One idea would be to get wire transfers on other accounts and do the further money transfers electronically to the account where I will be able to go to the branch. So from account(s) where I cannot go to the branch to account where I can go. But in my first message was already said that going to the branch is off-topic and cannot be considered as a solution. I am interested in ''direct cash'' meaning I don't want to buy something online from other accounts just for the purpose of reselling, hoping that I find buyers who will give me ''direct cash''. So what I want to achieve is get the physical cash from received wire electronic transfers in shortest possible time without being limited (or at least limited too much) to ATM cash withdrawal limits. The best hope I have had is buying foreign currency in cash in exchange office but it later turned out that they don't accept card payment
 So far everything I found is this:

Ben8282: ATM fees, particularly foreign ones, are expensive yes but being able to get cash on hands is important too. However several ATM cards have large foreign withdrawal fees, even the ones that a way too low ATM daily withdrawal limit. Example: I have some Polish prepaid cards where withdrawal is only 150 EUR per day but ATM is not giving out 50 bills, the lowest near amount is 30 EUR. Every withdrawal cost 1.5 (. decimal) EUR fees so obviously I decided to not pay another 1.5 for only 30 EUR. Therefore I am limited to only 100 EUR per day plus 1x 1.5 fees per one withdrawing. However if there would be none or much much much larger limit, I am definitely willing to pay fees.
Nebulous2: we are talking about ATM DEBIT card and not credit card so here is no lending by the bank included. Withdrawn can be what is on account balance, therefore there is no risk for the bank. I have all the documentation (e.g. invoices) to prove the legal right about ownership of MY OWN money and have all the right to get it on my hands. The only problem is HOW to do it. Thats why I am hoping someone could suggest something. They are not so big amounts anyway... You further asked me how do I know where the branch is located if I haven't opened account yet. I know because countries and name of bank are stated on the product list by certified offshore seller.0 - 
            The schools here have gone back today, perhaps there are some places where they are still on holiday. There's no chance this is a genuine request so there's no point in continuing to feed the troll.0
