FWIW, I was taking money out regularly in the days before my card expired at the end of August (thankfully, given what happened a few days later) and one of those times the ATM was unable to dispense money for some reason.
Like you I always thought it wasn't possible to check the balance, and it never showed up on the ATM receipts, but the option to check it was there on the ATM so I tried it to see if I had enough in to withdraw. To my surprise it worked and showed the balance (which was a lot more than I was trying to withdraw).
It's the first, and as things turned out, last, time I've ever seen my Epassporte balance (the VV only, not the wallet) on an ATM, so you may well now be able to check it at the ATM when the card is enabled again.
In hindsight I wonder if that (temporary) problem with being unable to withdraw money and/or the fact the balance was available to check at the ATM was due to things already being 'in motion' at the SK bank, in the days before Epassporte was suspended.
