Scotia is still in BofA's Global Alliance. BofA waives the $5 flat usage fee for using a non-BofA ATM (Scotia ATM) but still assesses an international transaction fee (3%). They've done this for several years now. You may be able to get international transaction fees refunded if you have enough assets with BofA to qualify for their Platinum Privileges program.Originally Posted by booger
I have no fees from NCB ATMs, My bank is a small local bank on the MoneyPass network. There is a 1% foreign transaction fee from the card provider though(VISA) but even with that I still usually get a better rate than the cambios.
Scotiabank account. Their service generally sucks but with branches all over mexico and the caribbean I keep my account going for travel use only.

We bring some cash but put almost everything on our Capital One Venture card. They don't charge any foreign exchange fees and the miles add up. We've only had it for a little over a year now and it already paid for two airline tickets and hotel rooms.
