Cultural Tip

In Brazil most banks set a daily withdrawal limit that can range from R$ 500 to R$ 2.000, depending on the type of account and the card you have. The limit can be increased temporarily by contacting the bank, especially when you need a larger amount for travel. In formal writing or when speaking with bank staff, replace the colloquial *pra* with *para* and *tem* with *há* (e.g., *Há limite diário para saque?*).
