Magetic Strip ATM Card in England

Posted by on

I'll be travelling to London and Southern England in a few weeks. I have chip-embedded credit cards, but my ATM card is a magnetic strip only card that is part of the Cirrus network. Will this card still work with bank ATMs on the same network or do I need to figure out a plan b? Thanks in advance!

The ATMs do still read the mag stripe although they are all equipped with chip readers. As they aren't used much by domestic cards they aren't always repaired quickly if broken, so if one doesn't work, try another.
