Hola, Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I think things have changed and want to ask the advice of other expats.
I have a CitiBank account and have always been able to withdraw up to US$2,000 per day. They were charging me a 2% foreign fee, which I could live with, but that has been switched back to 3%. In addition, I am charged a US$1.50 non CitiATM, which is fairly new.
Today, I went to the good old ATM, where I was only unable to withdraw 300 pesos per attempt. Last week, it was 600 pesos.
It should be noted I live in Bariloche, where there are no CitiBank branches/ machines available.
My questions are; is anyone using a bank with less than a 3% foreign fee, are there any banks that don't charge the non bank ATM fee, is anyone able to pull out more than 300 pesos per time as of today, and does anyone have any generally suggestions on how to proceed.
Obviously 3% plus US$1.50 is not going to work. BTW, my Pay Pal account appears to only be 1% with no fee. I will be looking into putting money into that without a fee to recieve it.
Thanks in advance!
