Pro Tip: No ATM Fees Globally!
In 2017, I saved $59.85 in ATM fees globally by utilizing my Charles Schwab ATM card. I blogged about this card back in 2014 and 4 years later it is still the best card to have in your wallet to get cash out of an ATM globally and even domestically. Why try to find your local bank’s ATM when you could just go to the closest ATM and pay no fees. International ATM fees can run ~$10 per withdrawal.
I’d highly recommend both frequent and non-frequent travelers to setup an account. There are no account fees or minimums. You could keep just $100 in the account if you don’t need cash often.
