The machine charges you to use it irrespective of card, As I mentioned before, I have never been charged by an ATM (actually, by the institution, of course) in Europe for using a US-issued card; I understand that this has been standard. I confess, though, to not having used a European ATM for several years now. I also point out that I have never used one of those ATMs not connected to a bank. -- Dave Hatunen, Tucson, Arizona, out where the cacti grow |

Why not check with them, rather than ask on Usenet? I doubt they still offer such a service... Hardly any bank does nowadays. Wainwright Bank in Boston used to be completely free, and now has a charge. And then there are other things to check- how much do they load the currency conversion for example. In the UK, the best deal is the Halifax Clarity Card. As the name suggests, a particular credit card among many offered by a particular bank! -- (*) of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate www.davidhorne.net (email address on website) "[Do you think the world learned anything from the first world war?] No. They never learn." -Harry Patch (1898-2009) |

Because calling most companies these days means that I need to spend a lot of time listening to recordings, then holding the line waiting for a human. So I was hoping to get a quick answer. But if I can't, then I *will* call them. If you're in the New York metro area, Boiling Springs Savings Bank still offers an ATM card, tied to a checking account, which makes no service charge on _any_ withdrawals. The exchange rate is good, too. |
