Maybe you don't mind paying 6% to get you own money and only 300 pesos at a time. I manage my money very carefully, maybe thats why I can afford to travel without financial worry.

Maybe it's just my bank.. but I can withdraw up to 900 pesos a day and I don't pay any percentage on my money (and havent for over a year). Besides, why would you walk around with more than 900 pesos in your pocket everyday?

My bank Washinton Mutual charges $5US for any international transactions plus having to pay exchange rate, do the math. Henryb do you have a local bank account? Tell me how I can make a international transaction and only pay 1% - 3% then I'll think you are smart, not a smart ass.
Craig

Why the hostility? It's just a friendly chat.... I have commerce bank and if you have over $2500 in your account - they don't charge you anything for international withdrawals.
