as i'm preparing for my trip, i called citibank to have my accounts noted that i would be travaling to cr, this is something i do every trip to avoid problems. from my last couple of visits, there was a international usage charge on my mastercard. this time when i called to notify citi about my trip, i was told there would be a 3% charge on all atm withdrawals and purchases. this has got to be something new, |

Foreign transaction fees are nothing new for the banking industry. It's just that they are being adopted (and applied!) by more and more banks. It is almost impossible to find a credit card these days that does not have a foreign transaction fee. Some are only 1% but others charge as much as 5%! If you plan to use a CC a lot outside of the US it might be wise to search for a card with no or a low fee. The card that I use for everything in the US has a 4% fee. I now use my CC from my Credit Union that has a 1% fee when I travel. |

Things may have recently changed because Upper Management at Citi needs to ensure their bloated compensation and bonuses.... PHX |

i have a mand i debit card and if i take monies from my account in colones they charge me 1%, if i take gringo monies no charge, so i get my gringo money and then just exchange it for colones at the bank... just an idea, i hate giving people a cut of my money...

I'm pretty certain Capital One has no foreign transaction fees. |

Does anyone have a savings account with HSBC? I opened one of those online savings accounts to try and cut out the fees. I am hoping that by using the HSBC ATM they won't charge me. |
