What First Horizon Bank currently says
A recently published First Horizon Visa Debit Card agreement lists a $1,000 PIN-based ATM cash-withdrawal limit per card per business day unless the bank authorizes a higher amount. Older web-rendered agreement text can still show a lower figure, which is why the document issued for your card should control. The number that matters is therefore the limit in your current cardholder agreement, together with any account-specific restriction disclosed for your card.
Why the number at the ATM can still be lower
An ATM withdrawal is controlled by more than the bank’s headline card limit. Your available balance, the card’s remaining daily capacity, fraud controls, the ATM operator’s per-transaction cap and the machine’s bill inventory can all reduce the amount dispensed. A non-First Horizon Bank ATM can be especially restrictive because the machine owner controls its own transaction settings.
How to verify the limit before you need cash
Check your current card agreement or debit-card controls first. If the app does not display a clear cash-withdrawal amount, call the number on the back of the card and ask specifically for the ATM cash limit—not the debit-card purchase limit. For a large withdrawal, confirm the amount before traveling to a branch or ATM.
What to do when the ATM limit is too low
If you need more cash than the ATM will provide, repeating the transaction may not help because the card’s daily limit still applies. A teller withdrawal, cashier’s check, wire or another bank-supported payment method may be safer. For unusually large cash requests, call a First Horizon Bank branch first because branch cash availability is separate from the card limit.
Fees, declined transactions and security checks
A declined withdrawal does not automatically mean the account lacks money. The transaction may have reached a daily limit, an ATM-level cap or a security rule. Out-of-network operators can also add fees. Repeatedly retrying a declined transaction can create more confusion, so check the card status and remaining limit first.
