This is nothing! Has anyone ever tried using an ATM overseas? I have and they are a TOTAL RIPOFF!!! I may not be using proper terminology when I explain this, but apparently, the request for cash you make through an overseas ATM goes through several ATM systems before they reach one in the United States. Each one of those ATM systems will charge you anywhere between $3-$15 bucks for that one transaction. Just getting $20 from the ATM could cost you nearly $100 in fees in some places.
If you ever go on vacation to a foreign country, travelers checks are apparently the way to go. Stay away, STAY AWAY,from the ATMs.
