Bank charges for non-US ATM withdrawals
"Dear Fellow Travelers:" My bank has let me know that it will charge three
US dollars on non-US withdrawals - which is something that already do in the US if you don't use their own ATM machine, plus 3% of the withdrawn amount after conversion. That on top of whatever VISA charges as it own commission to covert foreign currency into dollars. For years, I have heard it said that the use of ATM was the best deal when it came to foreign exchanges. The charges I have just listed makes me wonder if ATM is still the best deal or does anyone have a better idea. I would love to hear from anyone who might have a different take on this situation. Thanks and best. MR |

I my opinion ATM's are still the best option. First of all it's less hassle. You can just get your cash anywhere. And I feel safer with a card then white travelers cheqs or cash. About the charges maybe another bank is cheaper for you to use. Greetings, George www.budgetairlinelist.com Your cheapflight options "Marc Raizman" wrote in message ...
