Be careful taking out money in Uzbekistan then leaving the country with too much cash. We had a huge hassle at the border because we had picked up cash in a hotel in Tashkent.

Some waypoints
 

Hi all,

for future reference, here's a few waypoints of ATM's in Central Asia that all work with Mastercard/Cirrus/Maestro cards. Many should also work with Visa but I haven't tried.

Uzbekistan
We only changed cash dollars to som because the rate is so much better on the black market. However, to stock up on dollars (that you can then change to som):

• Bukhara: Asaka Bank (N39.77188 E64.43924), a 10-minute walk from the Old Town
• Khiva: the Asia Hotel has an ATM (N41.37435 E60.35863)

Kyrgyzstan
A lot of Visa logo's, but we found almost no Mastercard/Cirrus/Maestro ATM's. Only at Kazkommertz Bank we've been able to use our MC. Here's a few locations:

• Bishkek: N42.87434 E74.61769 and N42.87598 E74.61641
• Osh: N40.54300 E72.80069 (located under the Taj Mahal Hotel and not very far from Osh Guesthouse)

Tajikistan
International ATM machines we used:

• Khorog: N37.49222 E71.54968
• Dushanbe: N38.55879 E68.76280

Hopefully this saves people some time, spending hours or even days trying out half-working ATM machines is no fun ;)

In uzbekistan Kazakhstan n kyrgyzstan you can get banks where you can withdraw money by credit and debt cards.

Atm are there too. Just have to find them thro locals

Most Atms are for local cards so will need to find one with a Visa Sign on it.
