HiNice list there but is it really accurate?I sorta doubt that there really is such a thing as a 0% fee cause every time you withdraw money at an ATM in one country from a bank in another country you're paying those currency exchange rates and I myself have noticed that sometimes a higher exchange rate is substituted for a seperate fee on a withdrawal.

Thank you Igor. This will help us alot. It is our own responsibility to check if the info is indeed correct and what variations to the list applies to our each particular case. We know you cannot do everything for us and check accuracy for every single item listed here. But we appreciate your taking the time to create and share this with us. Kudos!

I believe 0% here means 0% below interbank exchange rate they are getting money themselves. There still is a spread between buy and sell prices but it is much smaller than what you'd get according to exchange rate offered to general public.

That sounds too good to be true. Can anyone confirm this?
