Thank you, CFrance. I will certainly bring my Schwab card on my next visit.
My curiosity got the best of me so I conducted an internet search for bank and ATM locations in The Villages for B of A, Wells Fargo (where I also bank) and Citizens. B of A and Wells each have a branch on Parr Drive and another on 441 in Lady Lake. That is it! I recall having to drive from Mallory to one of those B of A branches to refresh my supply of walking around money during my time in TV.
Citizens, on the other hand, lists seven branches in The Villages and one in Leesburg as well as 46 separate ATM only locations. Wow! The reason I use B of A for my personal account is that where I live as well as most of the places in the USA I visit B of A branches and ATM machines (even in airports) are almost as numerous and convenient as the Citizens branches in The Villages. Were I to choose to reside in The Villages I would probably use my Schwab card whenever I needed cash. They are incredible! I once lost a Schwab card in Turkey and they overnighted me another, free!
