Disculpe, ¿sabe dónde hay un cajero automático cerca?

Excuse me, do you know where there's an ATM nearby?
"Cajero automático" is the standard term for ATM across Latin America. You may also hear just "cajero" for short.

Sí, hay uno en la esquina. Pero a veces no funciona. Intente con el del banco.

Yes, there's one on the corner. But sometimes it doesn't work. Try the one at the bank.
ATMs inside banks are generally safer and more reliable than standalone street ATMs.

Gracias. Quiero retirar dinero pero me pide la clave y no entiendo la pantalla.
GRAH-syahs. KYEH-roh reh-tee-RAR dee-NEH-roh PEH-roh meh PEE-deh lah KLAH-veh ee noh ehn-TYEHN-doh lah pahn-TAH-yah.
Thanks. I want to withdraw money but it's asking for my PIN and I don't understand the screen.
"La clave" and "el PIN" are both used for your PIN number. The ATM screen may say "NIP" (Número de Identificación Personal) in Mexico.

Primero ingrese su clave, luego seleccione "retirar" y la cantidad.
pree-MEH-roh een-GREH-seh soo KLAH-veh, LWEH-goh seh-lehk-SYOH-neh reh-tee-RAR ee lah kahn-tee-DAHD.
First enter your PIN, then select 'withdraw' and the amount.
