ATMs may not return card in case of malfunction or misoperation or negligence. In this case, cardholders can get the card back at the branch in charge of the ATM by providing valid identify documents (such as passport) within 3 days since the incident (postponed in case of holiday). If the card is not taken back by cardholder within 3 days as prescribed, the card will be destroyed and the cardholder need to apply for a new one with the issuer after returning back to China. If no cash is taken from ATM but a certain amount has been deducted from the account, cardholder may apply for a dispute to the issuer after returning back to China.

Some ATM screens may display additional surcharges and the charging standards. For specific charging standards, please refer to the information shown on local ATM screen, or call Customer Service Center at 95516.
