Withdraw money

Significado

Getting cash from a bank or ATM

🌍

Contexto cultural

Indonesians often use 'ATM Bersama,' a network that allows you to withdraw money from different banks for a small fee. You will see this logo everywhere. When 'ambil uang' at an ATM, it is polite to stand at least one meter behind the person using the machine to give them privacy. In Indonesia, it's common for security guards (Satpam) to open the door for you at an ATM booth. It is polite to nod or say 'Terima kasih.' Despite the rise of apps like GoPay and OVO, many small vendors still prefer cash. Always 'ambil uang' before going to a remote area or a local village. During the 'Lebaran' holiday, banks set up mobile vans specifically so people can 'ambil uang baru' (withdraw new bills) to give to children.

💡

Check the Denomination

Indonesian ATMs usually give either 50,000 or 100,000 bills. Look for a sticker on the machine before you 'ambil uang' to know what you'll get.

⚠️

Safety First

Always cover the keypad with your hand when entering your PIN. ATM skimming can happen in tourist areas.

The 'Duit' Factor

If you want to sound like a local in Jakarta, say 'Narik duit' instead of 'Ambil uang.'

💬

Small Change

After you 'ambil uang,' try to break a 100,000 bill at a minimarket (like Alfamart) so you have small change for parking and tips.
