ATM withdrawal mostly works via Fransabank/BLF/Cirrus network. Dispenses USD only (no LBP option). Fees 3.5–6%. Limits ~USD 300–1000/tx. Capital controls may affect availability.

Frequent declines due to currency controls and dual-currency system. USD-denominated cards fare better. Test before relying.
