Yes, Sogebank has atm machines. They do not (as of last April) connect
to the north american atm network, it is for sogebank customers.

They do, however, accept visa atm cards for cash advances. I did this
last year and reported on it to the list. The advantage of using your
visa atm is that there is no cash advance fee as a regular credit card
would impose.

Good old fashoined travellers checks stll work. You seem to have to 
cash them in a market. Last year I couldn't get a bank to cash an
american express check, only the amex office in centreville or
a supermarket.
